BODY WORN CAMERAS
The Hardyston Township Police Department equips each of its uniformed police officers with a body worn camera like the one pictured below. Body worn cameras are a valuable asset intended to document evidence and witness/suspect statements, improve officer training and performance, prevent and resolve citizen complaints and strengthen accountability and public trust.
