Utilizing Helmet Cams in Forced Cell Extractions

Here it is. After a Dept. wide use of force meeting, it was determined that the camera operator usually the last person in the line up cannot possibly video tape the interaction between staff and offender. I am seeking information on the subject of using a wireless helmet cam with real time viewing, and or recording for forced cell extractions. Practicallity, Viability, or Liability. I am also looking for any vendor of this technology that would be willing to allow CO. Dept. of Corrections the opportunity to test the product for approval and possible use through our Security Technologies Committee.

I think its a great idea, because you will get a better view of the icident and that will be more effective in court, However, it will need to be protected and very secured on the helmet, I will look out for it, try www.afmo.com with Kirk. He carrys plenty of equpiment, maybe he can or direct you to the right person.
