Caught on Camera
On Aug. 21, the Medford Police Department announced every one of its law enforcement officers would be outfitted with body cameras, joining an ever-growing number of police departments to utilize the technology.
“My officers are very excited to begin wearing them,” Chief of Police Rich Meder said. “They’re very much in favor of wearing them.”
Meder said the police department had been researching the idea over the past few years.
“Given everything that’s going on in the world, and quite frankly the demand from the citizens for more transparency and to foster that better relationship, I felt that after discussing it with the township manager [and] town council that now is the appropriate time for us to research and deploy them,” Meder added. “I think it’s a protection not only for our citizens but also for our officers, and that way all of our encounters are encaptured and there’s no questions as to what occurred while they’re out there.”
