During the 2016-2017 fiscal year budget process, the Cody City Council approved funding to replace the Cody Police Department’s antiquated in-car camera system with an integrated body-worn and in-car camera system in the amount of $140,000. To assist with those project funds, the Cody Police Department utilized a $50,000 US Department of Justice grant to implement the system.
The goal of this project was to enhance police-community interactions, build continual citizen trust, and demonstrate the Department’s commitment to transparency.
The integrated camera system will document community-minded policing that officers engage in daily and increase the effectiveness of judicial processes through accurate, high-quality audio and video documentation during traffic stops and other enforcement actions.
Community involvement was crucial to develop a body camera policy that builds on the existing positive relationship between law enforcement officers and community members. Citizen engagement tools included community surveys, public forums, and social media.
