The new camera system will pair directly with officers’ body-worn cameras, allowing them to sync directly with their dashcam audio.
The Los Angeles Police Department expects to see a major improvement in the way it processes dash-cam and body-worn camera footage with a new cloud management system and upgraded in-car cameras that allow for footage to be uploaded to a secure server from the field.
The Axon Fleet 3 in-car camera system will provide patrol cars with both forward and rear facing cameras in the front and back of the vehicles, offering a wider angle of interior and exterior shots and higher resolution than the previous Axon system they had employed. “The LAPD prides itself in innovation and leveraging technology to uphold public confidence, while working to reduce the administrative burden on our officers,” Deputy Chief John McMahon said.
The process of implementing the cameras inside their patrol vehicles began in October, according to Sgt. Armand Lemoyne. There are currently around 1,100 vehicles already equipped with the new cameras and cloud server, with the remaining 400 expected to be completed by summer.
