Jackson Police Department rolls out officer-worn body cameras

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – Police officers in Jackson are now equipped with body cameras according to Captain Steven Laskiewicz.

“Every uniformed officer has been issued a body worn camera after receiving training and will be utilizing them while on patrol,” Laskiewicz said. “The National Institute of Justice has identified several benefits of the cameras which include; better transparency, increased civility, quicker resolution, corroborating evidence, and training opportunities.”

Laskiewicz said officers on patrol are now equipped with the new body cameras.

“The agency, which has recently achieved accreditation through the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police, prides itself on service with honor, integrity, and perseverance and is proud to utilize this technology to serve the community,” Capt. Laskiewicz added.
