IMPLEMENTATION OF BODY WORN CAMERAS
In 2021, the Hartford Police Department expanded its body
worn camera program to include
all sworn of昀椀cers. Previously, only
patrol of昀椀cers were required to
wear body worn cameras, but
in accordance with Public Act
20-01, An Act Concerning Police
Accountability, the program was
expanded. Throughout the summer and fall of 2021, all sworn of昀椀cers received body worn camera
training and were issued an Axon
body worn camera.
