Pistol camera captures gunslinging action, seeks role in next Faces of Death

Barrel-mounted cameras aren’t exactly revolutionary, but it’s not everyday that you see the boys in blue sporting one on their sidearm. Nevertheless, Orange County’s sheriff’s emergency service team and the Newburgh Police Department will reportedly “be the first groups to test the pistol cam,” which would record audio and video whenever the weapon was removed from its holster. According to Chief Eric Paolilli, it’ll be implemented if trials prove that there are no safety / functionality issues associated with it. As it stands, the state has set aside $35,000 in order for the device to be adequately tested, and if everything goes smoothly, Newburgh officers could soon be rocking the camera (and creating footage for COPS) as part of their standard equipment.
