The goal is to “expedient recovery time of digital evidence such as video of crimes that occur in the city of Galveston.”
Authorities say investigators will be able to quickly access cameras as they seek details surrounding a crime.
Police said they will never share the information obtained by the camera with anyone outside of the department, and that it will only be used if investigators believe the system may have captured a crime.
