LSPD Seeks New Badge Cam Solution

The department dumped its initial vendor April 14, citing less-than-user-friendly software functionality. LSPD will be without badge cam coverage during the search for a new vendor.

The Lake Stevens Police Department temporarily halted its badge cam program Friday, April 14 after severing their contract with the department’s initial badge cam vendor, Motorola.

The department announced the decision in an April 13 Twitter post and cut ties with Motorola badge cams the next day.

The department will be without badge cams until a new solution is implemented, a process that has already begun and is expected to last around three months.

J425 spoke with Deputy Chief Jeff Young, who gave us a call and walked us through the department’s thinking on this issue.
