Description

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie: February 8, 2021 For many years, Eden Prairie Police have utilized in-squad camera systems — an excellent tool for collecting evidence, documenting encounters and providing enhanced transparency and accountability. The latest technology in body-worn cameras, used in conjunction with in-squad camera systems, significantly expands the ability to capture video and sound from police interactions. As the Police Department prepares to incorporate body-worn cameras, a new policy will guide the use of this tool by all uniformed police officers. You are invited to view a draft of the Eden Prairie Police Department Body-Worn Camera Policy [PDF] and share your input with the Police Department through Sunday, Feb. 21.
