Officer Rose Rozmiarek said the department had been using in-car cameras since 1983.
Each camera weighs less than six pounds and can record up to eight hours of footage per tape.
Rozmiarek said officers wore audio transmitters on their belts that transmitted officer-suspect interaction to the in-car camera. But because of general wear and tear, Rozmiarek said, the transmitters sometimes did not work and the audio did not record.
"We have four cameras in four marked police cars right now," Rozmiarek said. "But we've been having some audio problems with two of them, so we want to upgrade
The videotapes, if not tagged for future use, are recycled after 120 days.
Sgt. Troy Mallen said the videotapes were also used to review polite conduct during in-house training.
Orozmiark said the public safety office would benefit from new cameras, which use Sony Hi-8 tapes. The tapes are higher quality and smaller, which take up less storage space than VHS tapes.

Dean helped bury the dead, an experience he called eye-opening.
After the experience, Dean and his wife, Michelle McKinley, established the Amazonian Peoples Resources Initiative in 1995.

The organizations works with indigenous communities that range from 40 to 1,100 people. The largest group it assists is the Urina, but McKinley said the organization would help anyone who asked for it as long as they agreed to follow all of the organization's rules.
Since its beginning, the Amazonian Peoples Resources Initiative has started several programs, including a radio program and an annual workshop for men that discusses women's rights, family violence and self-esteem. An agro-forestery program designed to teach farmers to use land more
McKinley said the Amazonian lifestyle was vastly different than in the United States. The communities have no electricity or running water, and they use a barter system instead of money.

Despite cultural differences, she said the area's residents accepted the organization's presence.
"Our hope is to provide an opportunity for people to decide for themselves," he said.
"I thought the reaction in the community that we work with is very favorable," she said. "If there is a resentment it's probably because we don't have any resources."
