St. Paul Police Ask For Public Feedback On Body Cameras

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The St. Paul Police Department is asking for the public to weigh in on the use of body cameras.

They have released a 15-question survey that focuses on whether or not people think they would be effective in improving trust between the community and law enforcement.

The online survey comes as the department prepares to launch a pilot program which will equip St. Paul officers with body cameras next year.

Police in Minneapolis will also begin using the technology next year.

The devices are already being used in several cities across the state, including Duluth, Rochester and Burnsville.
