Indiana State Police explain the process of implementing the use of body cameras
Indiana state police troopers currently do not wear body cameras while on the job. Governor Eric Holcomb made it his priority for all ISP troopers to have body cameras by the spring of 2021. It is something Superintendent Doug Carter was not always in favor of but reconsidered when talking to younger officers on the front lines.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WLFI) - Governor Eric Holcomb has made it a priority to outfit Indiana State Police with Body Cameras in 2021. He has also called for a third-party review of all use of force practices. Since the death of George Floyd in May of last year, law enforcement agencies across the country have been looking at their policies and practices.

Nearly one quarter of New Mexico s population has registered to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, but officials at some of the state s largest health care providers said Monday that inconsistencies with the supply chain are among the barriers to getting more shots in arms.
More than half a million residents have registered on New Mexico s vaccine website. Health officials have been urging people to be patient as the focus shifts from vaccinating front-line health care workers, first responders and those at long-term care facilities to senior citizens. Those with chronic illnesses that put them at higher risk also are on the list.
School Bill Challenges New Mexico Virus Restrictions -
By Cedar Attanasio Associated Press / Report For America
A bipartisan group of New Mexico lawmakers is pushing legislation that would allow more students to attend class in person by shifting authority over decisions to reopen from state officials to local school boards.
The proposal follows the start of vaccine distribution to some teachers and growing pressure from parents to reopen schools and resume high school sports.
GOP House Minority Leader Jim Townsend, is expected to introduce the legislation on Monday.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham would likely veto the bill.
She has allowed for limited in-person learning for younger students and those with disabilities, but they cover only a fraction of students in the state.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. All Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputies now have on-body cameras, but the sheriff is calling them “digital evidence management systems.”
Friday afternoon Sheriff Manuel Gonzales unveiled the device his department has purchased for all 310 deputies.
The BodyWorn camera by Utility, Inc., looks like a smart phone slipped into a hidden pocket on a deputy’s chest, but a company representative said the device is locked into its functions and cannot be used to make calls.
