COLUMBUS, Ind. — Training begins Tuesday that will lead towards body and car cameras for Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies.
The first part of the training will be with employees of Columbus Collision Vehicle Upfitters, who will be shown how to install the equipment this week, sheriff department Chief Deputy Maj. Chris Lane said. Representatives of the manufacturer, AXON Enterprise Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona, will continue their instruction with company personnel through Wednesday, he said.
Joining the training will be certain members of the Bartholomew County Information Technology Department, county IT director Scott Mayes said. This will allow his staff to assist with in-car installation planning, as well as finalize deployment steps required for the system to become functional, Mayes said.
The cameras, as well as unlimited cloud storage and other technology, represents an $800,000 investment that will be paid over a five-year-period.
