Tumwater Police Adopt Body-Worn Cameras: A New Era of Transparency and Safety
The Tumwater Police Department is set to implement body-worn cameras, following the Public Health and Safety Committees endorsement of their new policy. The eight-page document, Policy five thirty-nine, will be voted on by the city council on March twenty-fourth. Axon has been chosen to supply the cameras and upgrade in-car systems. The department received the equipment in late January and is currently scheduling training and installations. This move makes Tumwater the last city in Thurston County to adopt body cams, aiming to enhance safety and transparency. The policy outlines clear rules, such as requiring recordings for specific calls and providing exceptions for privacy. The public can request videos under Washingtons records act.
