Information

To be transparent, the Carroll Township Police Department has equipped in every patrol car in its fleet an In-Car Camera system and a portable microphone which allows the department to document incidents with audio/video recordings.  The Police Department will soon be expanding this program to include Body Worn Cameras for all its officers.  The combination of the In Car Cameras and Body Worn Cameras will allow the police department to more accurately document events, actions, conditions and statements made during incidents; enhance an officers ability to prepare and present court testimony; improve the training and supervision capabilities of the department and will assist in maintaining officer accountability.  The Department has applied for two grants which will cover most of the cost of the Body Worn Cameras.  The Department anticipates having the Body Worn Cameras in service in the foreseen future.
