Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office To Wear Body Cameras

Cited as "a valuable tool for the department," the Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office today announced that LPSO patrol deputies will be issued body cameras, after several months of evaluation.

"The cameras will give deputies the ability to record audio and video of encounters with the public which could help guard against deputies' misconduct and clear deputies who have been falsely accused of wrongdoing," says Sheriff Michael Neustrom.
