WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI)- Purdue University Police will soon outfit all of their officers with body cameras. Purdue Police have had in-vehicle cameras for 20 years. The new body-worn camera system will include data storage and be connected with updated in car-cameras. PUPD often works with the West Lafayette Police Department which uses a similar system.
Chief John Cox says this new tool will provide more transparency to the public and more protection for all 45 members of their police force. He says several officers were asking to have the cameras added.
