The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports that, following a pilot project, the Hawaii Police Department is researching what to do next.

Excerpt:

Hawaii Police are looking at chest-mounted units, which generally place the lens about a quarter of the way down the chest.

It’s common for the camera to include a light that turns on during recording to alert people involved that a camera is in use.

Many officers, including Maj. Samuel Thomas, said knowing a camera is in use can help keep people calm during their interactions with police.

One concern is when to turn the cameras on — full time or officer controlled?
