BODY CAMERAS FOR ALL LITTLE FALLS POLICE OFFICERS

When I asked the question, do the Little Falls Police Officers wear body cameras, Chief Schirmers said I would need to make a data request to get the answer to that question.  I said I was just asking a simple question, because these cameras protect the officer and the citizens.  I asked him if he would consider getting them for his officers, his response was that it was an administrative decision.  He said there were budget constraints. 

Certainly, having these cameras would make economic sense, in that there is little doubt of police or citizen behaviors once they are captured on camera.  They would undoubtedly lessen the likelihood of doubt.

 I certainly hope he makes the request for the council to cover this expenditure. Don't you?  If you agree, give him a call and urge him to do so.  320-616-5570.
