NYPD to pilot-test body cameras in parts of Brooklyn
Patrol officers in the 73rd Precinct and Police Service Area 2 in Brownsville and the 75th Precinct in East New York will be among six precincts citywide to wear body cameras as part of a pilot program implemented by the NYPD in response to legal and community concerns regarding the agency’s stop-and-frisk policy.
Two types of body cameras will be tested: one clips to the chest (Vievu LE3) and one clips to glasses (Taser AXON Flex).
“[This] demonstrates our commitment to transparency while also allowing us to review its effectiveness, with the [long-term] intention of expanding the program,” said Commissioner Bill Bratton.
