Body-worn cameras are now a standard part of the Syracuse Police Department uniform. The department uses Axon’s equipment and platform for securely downloading and storing footage. The city renewed an Axon police contract in 2023 for five years and $6.8 million.

To enhance transparency and improve safety, Syracuse officials proposed a new initiative to keep Code Enforcement Officers safe using body cameras. The idea is currently in the proposal stage still under consideration to hear how this technology could be used in the field.
