The Trenton Police Department has begun implementing its new police body worn cameras.

According to a release issued on social media Chief of Police Tommy Wright said that over the next few weeks officers will be assigned body cameras and receive training on use, policy and procedure, uploading video into a secure system and other topics associated with recording police activities using the cameras.

The Trenton Police Department was able to purchase the cameras through donations collected by the Body Camera Steering Committee from businesses and individuals.

Currently the Trenton Police Department said it is still seeking donations for the purchase of several more body cameras.

Anyone with questions or comments concerning the body cameras or the fundraising effort can contact Chief Tommy Wright at 660-359-5557 or by email, [email protected].
