Madison Police Chief Wants Body Cams
The Madison Police Department is one of the largest local law enforcement agencies in the country that hasn’t embraced body-worn cameras. Chief Shon Barnes calls body cams a “must” for the department and has been working on a 90-day pilot program to test out the technology. Eventually, Barnes hopes body cams are standard issue for Madison police officers.
Event on May 19: Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony.
