The equipment under consideration by Pasadena police would automatically activate nearby body cameras when a firearm is drawn, a significant advancement in police oversight and recording capabilities.
Pasadena's proposed purchase of $4.5 million worth of technology would make it one of the few California police departments to implement this new automatic activation system for body cameras.
Although body-worn cameras are common in police departments nationwide, the new technology would enhance oversight by eliminating the need for officers to manually activate cameras, ensuring recording during crucial incidents involving firearms.
