In support of our transformational efforts toward transparency, efficiency, safety and accountability, we are evaluating and considering the implementation of a police vehicle dash cameras program.
We are in the process of conducting an assessment of dash cameras, to include a full technical evaluation of the dash camera hardware and software. Two vehicles will be outfitted with the dash cam system and will be tested throughout Tacoma. The vehicles will not be in service while performing these tests and no actual policing activity will be recorded by the system.
Once completed, the trial results will be part of a larger assessment in helping us select the system that will best enhance community safety for our residents.
