Last week, the Mesa Police Department finished training the last of 50 officers
who will be wearing the new officer mounted Axon Flex Camera System from Taser
International. These officers are primarily assigned to patrol throughout all
four of our patrol districts; however, we also have three each assigned to motor
and SWAT officers. The cameras are either head-mounted (via head/hat bands or
eyeglasses) or shoulder mounted on the officer's lapel. This will be a one year
pilot program designed to assess the benefits this system has to offer our
department. Our goal is to provide world class policing to our community and
offer the highest level possible of professionalism, investigative quality and
transparency.
Our policy regarding these cameras can be viewed here.
