Recorded images will be uploaded to the Internet-based Evidence.com storage system and officers cannot edit or alter the data. Residents may obtain copies of the footage through open-records requests. The department began testing the cameras in May 2012 and has hopes to equip 60 to 75 percent of the 700 patrol officers with the devices. The cost for the cameras is around $670,000. The Department says the funding for the program comes from money seized by drug dealers.
