SURF CITY – The Surf City Police Department announced that on October 25, officers will begin to wear body worn cameras (BWCs).
All uniformed Surf City Police Officers serving in a patrol capacity will be using these BWCs, the department said in a statement.
The department further explained their reasoning behind this decision is because “BWCs assist officers in the performance of their duties and they provide a clear and unbiased recorded account of incidents that protect both citizens, as well as officers.”
