Body Worn Cameras
In accordance with guidelines set forth by the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, The Absecon Police Department has equipped it's sworn personnel with body worn cameras (BWC) that, with very limited exceptions, will record all interactions with the public using video and audio. Below are two examples of how the cameras may be worn by uniformed and plain clothes officers, so that it will be easier for members of the public to be more aware that a recording device may be in use. Body worn cameras have been in service with the Absecon Police Department since 2017.
