The Police Department at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is upgrading its body-worn video camera system in an effort to provide better service to students and the community at large.

The cameras have been upgraded to 鈥淎xon Body鈥� on-officer video cameras manufactured by Taser. The new camera system features advanced technology and a more durability.

鈥淭he University Police Department鈥檚 continued use of on-officer video camera technology will provide value in enhancing officer safety, reduction of liability, assist with prosecution and case resolution, and further promote professionalism and accountability,鈥� says Officer in Charge, Steven Mahon.

According to their website, Taser鈥檚 Axon Body is an ultra-durable on-officer camera designed to balance both simplicity and performance. Axon Body provides agencies with a core unibody design for easy deployment. The camera features a 130-degree wide-angle lens, multiple mounting options, and a full shift buffer, all within the single button recording device.

The 12 new on-officer video cameras will accompany the department鈥檚 in-car video system, and more than 900 surveillance cameras located throughout campus.
