As of this month, every Fullerton police officer in the field is wearing a body camera that can record video and audio of interactions with the public, Chief Dan Hughes said.

The Fullerton Police Department is the first agency in Orange County to outfit all of its officers with body cameras.

About 150 were purchased, one for every officer and some extras to accommodate repairs.

The City Council in September unanimously approved the $650,354 purchase of the cameras from Taser International. The price includes upgrades, support services and software for five years.

The policy on how the cameras will be used, including situations in which they may be turned off, are being finalized and will be posted on the department’s website, Hughes said. “We have to have a few more discussions before we release the policy to the public.”

Fullerton loaned two cameras to Cal State Fullerton police for testing.
