VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Virginia Beach Police Officers will now have in-car cameras to their marked fleet in addition to every sworn officer now having a body camera.
The Virginia Beach Police Department released a video explaining the new rollout.
In the video, Captain William Zelms says 250 patrol vehicles will now have this technology so that overall the public can have faith and confidence in the department.
The in-car cameras interact with the body camera technology that they have already employed.
Officers now have a wider angle lens, which is needed when officers conduct a traffic stop. There will actually be two cameras installed. The first is a front view camera that faces the front of the patrol vehicle the second is a rear seat camera which gives them a wide-angle vantage point of the entire back seat and anything or anyone they place inside of it.
