Henrico police to roll out body cameras for officers
Henrico County police officers will begin wearing body-mounted cameras this fall.
County police hope to have the first 36 cameras in hand by Oct. 1, Police Chief Douglas A. Middleton told the county’s Board of Supervisors at a Tuesday meeting.
“It’s a huge asset to us in the investigation of cases and in the investigation of the complaints that come in as well,” Middleton told the supervisors.

The department aims to have a camera for each of the 400 or so uniformed officers in the county by Jan. 1, 2016, Middleton said. “Obviously, a lot of things can interfere with that, but that’s what I would like to have happen,” he told the board.
The cameras will cost $800 each.
“We’re going to use money that we took from drug dealers to pay for it,” Middleton told the supervisors.

As for others:
Chesterfield County Police Department does not use dashboard cameras or body cameras, according to representatives for those agencies.
Richmond police also do not have body cameras, but some of the police cruisers have dashboard cameras, according to a representative.
But wait, there's more. Bias Training!
Also Tuesday, Henrico police announced a plan to implement fair and impartial policing training for all 613 sworn officers.
Middleton, the county police chief, told the supervisors that Henrico police first started investigating the training last fall.
“Fair and impartial behavior is one of the hallmarks of policing in a democratic society,” Middleton said.
The police training will be undertaken in conjunction with Richmond’s police force, he said. It aims to teach police how to identify their own biases, including implicit biases.
“Bias is a normal human attribute,” Middleton said. “Even well-intentioned people have biases.”
Middleton said he wants the training even though he believes his department already does a good job of treating the people with whom it interacts fairly. For example, he said, the man who climbed a track fence while shirtless at last weekend’s NASCAR race complimented the police officers’ behavior after his arrest.
He said his standard has been that the people with whom police interact should receive the same experience that police officers would want for themselves or family members were the positions reversed.
