Medford Township Police Chief Richard J. Meder announced today that beginning September 1, 2017, all Medford Police Officers will be equipped with body worn cameras.

Medford Township joins a growing number of Burlington County Police Departments and police departments nationwide in deploying the cameras.

According to the police department, “the goal of this program is to foster a greater level of trust and transparency within the community.”

The cameras were purchased with a combination of funding from the Medford Township municipal budget, and funding from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program administered through the State of New Jersey.
