Smyrna Police Department Implements New Tasers and Body Cameras to Enhance Accountability

Smyrna Police Department Implements New Tasers and Body Cameras to Enhance Accountability

The Smyrna Police Department has introduced new technology, including TASER 10 devices and additional body cameras, to improve officer options in dangerous situations and enhance accountability. The TASER 10 replaces the older TASER 7, offering more rounds, extended range, and improved documentation capabilities. Officers underwent several weeks of training, including virtual-reality scenarios, to familiarize themselves with the new equipment. A significant upgrade in documentation is that sensors can now record when an officer removes a Taser from its holster, which automatically activates the officer's body camera and in-vehicle cameras. This feature is designed to provide a clearer record of events. Additionally, the department has added 80 new body cameras and two new drones as part of a broader effort to update its equipment and promote transparency.
