Largo police aims to outfit officers with cameras by 2025

LARGO — The Largo Police Department and its 157 sworn officers is the largest agency in Pinellas County not to outfit its officers with body-worn cameras.
Police Chief Jeff Undestad said he’s ready to change that, but it could take several years before it happens.
Undestad, who joined other high-ranking members of the department in outlining the proposed program to city commissioners April 13 during a work session, said the department needs to keep up with community expectations.
In the wake of George Floyd’s death last year, several Pinellas agencies, including the Sheriff’s Office and Clearwater Police Department, have added camera programs. Even smaller local departments in Pinellas Park, Tarpon Springs and Gulfport utilize the technology to record interactions.
