“This is a huge step in improving not only the quality of our footage, but efficiency in the redaction processes for public records requests, upgraded life longevity of the cameras, and even direct connection to our dash cameras and license plate readers,” the police department said in a social media post.

The police department was approved by the city council last month to replace the body cameras.
