The Irvington Public Safety Department announced that on August 1, 2022, a limited number of officers will now be equipped with body-worn cameras.
This initiative is part of a county-wide effort by the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office to equip all Essex County police agencies with body-worn cameras.
The public will see the new cameras worn by police officers in the Patrol Division.
Body-worn cameras have been effective in memorializing important information during critical incidents.
Irvington Police Officers must activate their body cameras when conducting investigative and enforcement actions such as making an arrest, issuing a summons, searching, or stopping a person on the street during an investigation. All officers equipped with body-worn cameras have received training on the devices.
