The implementation of the cameras comes two-and-a-half years after Anchorage voters approved a $1.8 million tax increase to purchase the equipment.
The lengthy timeline stemmed, in part, from disagreementsKerle says representatives from Axon will come to Anchorage the week of November 13 to begin training officers on how to use the cameras, as the department upgrades police vehicles’ video systems. He says they hope to get 30 vehicles outfitted by the end of November.
“As the vehicles are outfitted with the in-car video system, officers will be given the body cameras, and there’ll be continuous implementation until all 350 body cameras are on the street,” Kerle said. Kerle says the body cameras will be linked to the in-car systems, automatically turning on when lights and sirens go off to respond to a call.
