BodyWornThe Clayton County Police Department in Georgia will use 200 Utility-developed body cameras with automatic recording and redaction functions in support of efforts to protect citizen and police officer privacy.

Utility said Thursday the BodyWorn technology features policy-based auto-recording triggers, automatic redaction software, instant video playback and a real-time offloading function that sends videos to an Amazon Web Services cloud server.

Michael Register, Clayton County chief of police, said the body camera works to align with the police department’s goals of transparency and professionalism.

“[We] design technology with the mission to take away manual work from police officers so they can focus on protecting themselves and their communities,” noted Utility CEO Robert McKeeman.

BodyWorn uses a smartphone that users can embed into clothing, an accelerometer that triggers recording if an officer runs as well as the Smart Offload and Smart Redaction software that automatically identifies specified objects to be redacted based on the police department’s privacy policies.

Utility added the Clayton County police will also deploy 200 integrated vehicle communication systems with devices called Rocket IoT-X that support communications between officers through a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot set up in the patrol cars.
