The Massachusetts State Police said it has started training for its Body-Worn Camera system. Members of Logan Airport-based Troop F are the first of the MSP’s sections to be trained and to begin wearing the cameras. The other five geographic Troops, the Special Operations Troop and members of other divisions, such as academy staff, will be trained in the coming months, according to state police.“Our Body-Worn Camera system is the next step in the evolution of our officer safety and accountability initiatives,” MSP Superintendent Col. Christopher S. Mason said. Troop F, which has about 150 troopers and sergeants, provides all policing and security for all port authority facilities and properties.“The camera system will provide valuable digital evidence in our mission to hold perpetrators accountable and will record interactions between officers and the public – thus ensuring that officers maintain the level of professionalism we demand, protecting officers and the public alike from any inaccurate descriptions of an interaction, and assisting us in assessing the credibility of any complaints made against officers,” Mason said. The department is using Motorola Watchguard V300 cameras and company officials are providing the training.
