The Capitol Police’s pilot program for body-worn cameras for officers will also include dash cams for cruisers, according to a letter from Chief J. Thomas Manger on Friday obtained by CQ Roll Call.
Manger, in the letter to the department, explained how the body-worn camera pilot program will work ahead of the March 18 start date. In addition to the 70 officers who volunteered to wear the cameras, 11 Capitol Police vehicles will be outfitted with dashboard cameras.
“The cameras will record public interactions requiring a police response,” Manger said.
