Constantine officers now have body-worn cameras

Constantine Police Department Chief Dan Thayer said the agency’s officers are now equipped with body-worn camera technology.

Thayer said officers completed a training-and-deployment process. They are now using Utility Inc.’s patented EOS by Utility cameras.

The technology enables policy-based, high-speed data collection to deliver instant, clear and secure intelligence to support an increase in transparency and accountability between the department and community.

Thayer said the EOS cameras are embedded in the officers’ uniforms to ensure they remain securely attached. The cameras use artificial intelligence to create situational awareness and offer features such as a two-minute buffer and capturing two minutes of video prior to activation.
