This week, the Harvey Cedars Police Department began equipping officers with body cameras, in accordance with a New Jersey attorney general directive.

“In addition to our in-car cameras, which we have had for 10 years, our officers assigned to patrol duty will wear a body camera to enhance community trust and record public interactions in an official capacity,” said Police Chief Robert Burnaford.

“The cameras will be worn on the police officer’s outermost garment, in the center of the upper body.
