Case Study: West Lafayette Police Department improves body-worn camera program implementation with BodyWorn by Coreforce

West Lafayette Police Department becomes Indiana’s first body-worn camera agency with Coreforce in 2012

The West Lafayette Police Department, an early adopter of body-worn cameras, sought to implement a program that would provide crucial evidence, ensure officer and community safety, and navigate complex policy requirements. They partnered with the vendor Coreforce and its BodyWorn camera system to address this challenge.

Coreforce's solution was the BodyWorn system, which uses patented automatic recording triggers to ensure policy-based compliance. This technology automatically activates cameras based on events like proximity to a call, opening a vehicle door, or unholstering a firearm, removing decision-making from officers. The results included more accurate and consistent evidence gathering, increased community trust as endorsed by civil rights groups, and allowing officers to focus on tactical safety. Coreforce provided the technology that was critical to the program's success.
