Sheriff touts purchase of body-worn cameras
Bergen County Sheriff Anthony Cureton announces the purchase of body worn cameras for correctional police officers.
His office said in a statement March 13, “In an effort to provide better accountability for everyone within the Bergen County Jail, body worn cameras have been purchased to record incidents involving officer, staff, and inmates. The camera serves the agency as a training tool and reduced the amount of internal affairs investigation involving officers.”
“There is no Attorney General mandate regarding correctional institutions to have body-worn cameras,” Cureton said. “However, the growing trend in law enforcement is transparency, and having these cameras protects allegations of assaults and/or improper conduct of an officer.”
He said, “The bodycams presence alone, provides a deterrent and enhances officer and inmate safety during transport” and that “people who know they are being observed and recorded on video tend to act better than those not under observation.”
Approximately 80 cameras have been purchased, and Cureton anticipates an additional purchase, as a result of entering into an agreement to receive Passaic County inmates.
The cost is approximately $500,000, funded through Curetonʼs capital budget.
