BOULDER — The Boulder Police Department has received its full order of body cameras and hopes to have officers outfitted with them by the end of the year.
Boulder police received approval from the City Council to place an order for 150 body cameras at a cost of about $57,000, and the department placed its order in December with L3 Mobile Vision — a New Jersey-based vendor of law enforcement recording equipment.
Due to high demand for the cameras as more police departments across the country are using them in the wake of several high-profile police incidents, there was a delay in Boulder police getting their order. But Deputy Chief Carey Weinheimer said the department now has all of the cameras.
Weinheimer said the department hopes to have officers outfitted with them by the end of the year.
The department already has nine officers using the cameras in the field to test them out before the entire department starts to use them.
