Who uses body cameras in Bingham County?

What we do not know

Blackfoot Police

  • How long does the department keep body camera and in-car footage?
  • What governs the shared server, and can county staff see city footage or the other way round?
  • Did the department move to cloud storage, and if so to whose cloud?
  • Is there a written body camera policy, and has the Council ever seen it?
  • Who watches the park cameras, and how long is that footage kept?

What body cameras are

A camera worn by an officer, recording encounters with the public. What it captures, how long the footage is kept and who may watch it are set by department policy rather than by one statewide rule.
