Bensalem Police To Wear Body Cameras

BENSALEM, PA — On Wednesday, members of the Bensalem Township Police Department's patrol division will be equipped with body-worn cameras.

The department said Monday that the program will start with a select number of patrol officers, with plans to equip the entire uniformed patrol division over the next few months.

"The Bensalem Police Department is committed to a partnership with the community and body-worn cameras are another way to build trust and be transparent," police said in a news release. "Bensalem Police have utilized an in-car camera system for over a decade and will enhance that system to operate in compliance with the body-worn cameras."

Bensalem Police have teamed up with Axon, a law-enforcement technology company, to implement the body-worn camera system.
