"CycleVision" motorcycle mounted video cameras

From: The University of Arizona Police Department
To: University of Arizona Community

The University of Arizona Police Department will has begun using mounted digital cameras on marked department motorcycles and cares. UAPD is the first law enforcement agency in Southern Arizona to utilize "CycleVision" motorcycle mounted digital video cameras.

Digital Video Cameras have become a useful tool in Public Safety. CycleVision will enable motorcycle patrols to record the same video and audio evidence that patrol care capture. This enables the officer to visually and audibly record contacts with the public. Additionally, it can show that the officer's work complies with department policies and procedures and accepted best practices for law enforcement action. The video evidence also serves to document the accuracy of details surrounding an incident.

The purchase of video equipment for four motorcycles was made possible through a grant awarded by the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
