FORT COLLINS — Fort Collins police are expanding their body camera program, doubling the number of officers equipped with the technology.
that Fort Collins Police Services signed a five-year, $885,000 contract with Taser International last month to double the number of body-mounted cameras worn by officers from 60 to 120. By May 1 nearly every officer in the 208-sworn agency will be equipped with a camera.
Fort Collins was a relatively early adopter of body-worn cameras. On Friday, the department released video of its first officer-involved shooting captured on the cameras.
According to a 2015 survey of 170 Colorado law-enforcement agencies, about 28 percent of Colorado law enforcement departments use body-mounted cameras.
