Lafayette Police Department body cams producing 'a ton of video'

And since Monday, when LPD began including footage in cases it forwards for prosecution, the agency has handed over 75 files with anywhere from one to 20 videos each.

The influx of footage — which Bishop said was "a little ahead of schedule" — has been overwhelming but expected.

"If there's four or five officers on the call, and they're there for over an hour, it's a ton of video," he said.

The $748,028, five-year contract with Taser International provides 115 body cameras, 20 docking stations, cloud-based storage services and insurance, according to figures provided by LPD Chief Patrick Flannelly.

In anticipation of the roll out, Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington requested permission earlier this year to hire two new staff members.
