Palos Park Police Officers Now Wear Cameras

Palos Park Police Department Commissioner Dan Polk is pleased to announce yet another public / corporate community relations partnership program, Chaffee Limousine. They donated three mini-cameras to be worn by Palos Park Police patrol officers.

Commissioner Polk said “This donation will support the Palos Park Police Department by providing three mini cams cameras for police officers to wear while on duty patrolling. These cameras record all police/perpetrator interaction including, but not limited to, sobriety tests. Footage from the cameras may be used in a court of law to aid in convictions.”

Officers are now wearing small cameras, about chest-height and can activate them with a simple flick of a switch. Chief Joe Miller said officers like the new tool and the video can help officers do their job as well as benefit the public when there's a question about behavior. We hope each officer gets a camera by the end of this year."

Danny Chaffee said he “hopes this contribution will raise awareness for public safety and encouraged other charitable outreach programs to donate to their local law enforcement agencies."
