The Chief of the Springfield Police Department spoke during a recent Springfield City Club meeting. He provided an update on body-worn cameras.
SPD Chief Richard Lewis said officers should be wearing body cameras as soon as February or March. And according to him, officers are mostly excited about the new technology.
“People have the question all the time is, ‘do your officers even want these?’ And I would say the vast majority want these, said Lewis. And the ones who are hesitant about it, they’re simply hesitant because it’s just a new technology and maybe they’re not used to dealing with.”
