Police Body Worn Cameras

Mansfield Township Police Officers are now outfitted with L3 MobileVision body worn cameras while on patrol, in addition to the department’s patrol car video cameras. Police Officers will be wearing the camera to the front left, center, or right side of their outermost garment on the upper chest area, facing forward.

Body worn camera recordings are invaluable to law enforcement for evidential purposes and have consistently demonstrated its value in the prosecution of criminal, traffic, and other related offenses, to protect personnel from false claims of misconduct and to verify officers are held to the highest of standards that the public expects and deserves. Supervisors will also be required to conduct periodic reviews of officer-citizen contacts for quality control purposes and the video will aid in the investigation of citizen complaints.

We are looking forward to the opportunity to capture the good work our officers conduct on a daily basis. 

The use of the body worn cameras will follow the guidelines issued by the New Jersey Attorney General along with the policies of the Mansfield Township Police Department.  

Sincerely,

Chief Michael Reilly
