Bismarck Police will use Body Cameras

Bismarck, North Dakota – The Bismarck Police Department plans to begin using body cameras in the near future.

The department will be installing more than 130 Axon body cameras, more than 40 in-car video systems, and about ten cameras specifically designed for use in investigations.

There are already dashcams in use throughout the department.
