Most departments provide their officers with Axon body cameras<\/a>. Officers with the Moody Police Department in Alabama, however, will be hitting the streets with Viridian\u00a0FACT Duty\u00a0Weapon-Mounted Cameras.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"155518\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nAs the name implies, these cameras are securely attached directly to the end of an officer's duty gun. Here's a quick blurb from Viridian's presser which outlines exactly what these cameras can do:\r\nViridian FACT Duty WMC<\/h3>\r\n
This unique Weapon-Mounted Camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian\u2019s proprietary\u00a0Instant-On\u00a0technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nViridian claims that the FACT camera fits on most standard-issue firearms and fits in multiple duty holster platforms. The camera has a battery life of over three hours. They also incorporate secured data access and can easily be recharged, the company says.\r\n
Game Changer?<\/h3>\r\nLike we said up top, Axon currently dominates this space, but it'll be interesting to see if the Viridian FACT Duty WMC will be able to gain some momentum. The Moody Police Department is one of the first departments to adopt the camera. It's also being tested in almost 200 other departments around the country.\r\n\r\n\"The Moody Police Department\u2019s implementation of our WMC is an extremely important milestone,\" Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen said. \"This is a tremendous leap forward for policing. Current events point to the fact that body and dash cameras alone are inadequate, and because of this, nearly 200 police departments across the country are now in the process of testing and implementing FACT Duty WMCs in their departments. These WMCs provide an unfettered perspective for officer-involved shootings and other use-of-force incidents, and our products help show\u00a0what really happened.\"\r\n\r\nCheck out the videos above and below for more on the Viridian FACT Duty WMC system.\r\n\r\nFor more on Viridian, go to viridianweapontech.com<\/a>.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y9McguU8658","post_title":"Alabama PD Adopts Viridian FACT Duty Weapon-Mounted Camera","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"alabama-pd-viridian-fact-camera","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:21:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:21:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/18\/alabama-pd-viridian-fact-camera\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":131184,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2018-06-14 09:00:04","post_date_gmt":"2018-06-14 13:00:04","post_content":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5MFn1w2EF-E[\/embed]\n\nA Las Vegas police officer shot an armed robber attempting to flee the scene last weekend. The incident is still under investigation, but newly released body camera and aerial footage shows the officer was justified in pulling the trigger. Watch the video above to see what we mean.\n\n[in_content post=\"187911\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n
Las Vegas Police Officer-Involved Shooting<\/h3>\nA LVMPD press release says that on June 9 at around 10:48 p.m., officers were surveilling 38-year-old Shan Kittredge, a man believed to be responsible for eight armed robberies over the previous two weeks. When Kittredge stopped at a gas station, officers stormed in and tried to take him into custody.\n\nThe officers moved their vehicles in front of and behind Kittredge's car to block his escape. They then told him to get down on the ground.\u00a0Kittredge initially complied, but then\u2014as the body camera footage shows\u2014he jumped back up and got into his vehicle. He then put the car in reverse, hitting a patrol vehicle and nearly hitting a K9 officer.\n\nThat's when Sgt. Joseph Emery allegedly saw Kittredge raise a gun and aim it at officers. In response, Emery discharged his duty gun, striking Kittredge five times.\u00a0Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge was hit twice in the arm, once in the upper shoulder,\u00a0and \"he may have taken a wound to the side of the head, but not fatal, and I think he had one in the neck.\"\n\nMedical personnel arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.\u00a0Kittredge was transported to an area hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. Police found a 9mm Taurus<\/a> pistol inside his car.\n\nIn addition, a female passenger in the front seat of Kittredge's vehicle was also arrested.\n
The Suspect & The Officer<\/h3>\nZimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge has a rap sheet that includes charges of battery, possession of a credit card without the owner's sent; possession of a controlled substance; possession of a dangerous weapon; and trafficking a controlled substance. When police arrested him, Kittredge also had active warrants for robbery and battery out on him.\n\nEmery is a 28-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Furthermore, he has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting.\n\n\"The scene was very dynamic, this was a very violent individual,\" Zimmerman said. \"With the gun pointed at another detective, [Emery] felt he had to take action at that time. It was a split-second decision.\"\n\n\"It raises the hairs on the back of your neck; it's such a dangerous situation,\" Zimmerman added with regard to the body cam footage. \"But they have a job to do and they go in and they do it heroically, just like these guys did.\"\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=149PvISJozo","post_title":"VIDEO: Las Vegas Police Shoot Armed Robber After He Tries to Flee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-30 16:46:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-30 20:46:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/14\/las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":27},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Las Vegas Police Officer-Involved Shooting<\/h3>\nA LVMPD press release says that on June 9 at around 10:48 p.m., officers were surveilling 38-year-old Shan Kittredge, a man believed to be responsible for eight armed robberies over the previous two weeks. When Kittredge stopped at a gas station, officers stormed in and tried to take him into custody.\n\nThe officers moved their vehicles in front of and behind Kittredge's car to block his escape. They then told him to get down on the ground.\u00a0Kittredge initially complied, but then\u2014as the body camera footage shows\u2014he jumped back up and got into his vehicle. He then put the car in reverse, hitting a patrol vehicle and nearly hitting a K9 officer.\n\nThat's when Sgt. Joseph Emery allegedly saw Kittredge raise a gun and aim it at officers. In response, Emery discharged his duty gun, striking Kittredge five times.\u00a0Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge was hit twice in the arm, once in the upper shoulder,\u00a0and \"he may have taken a wound to the side of the head, but not fatal, and I think he had one in the neck.\"\n\nMedical personnel arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.\u00a0Kittredge was transported to an area hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. Police found a 9mm Taurus<\/a> pistol inside his car.\n\nIn addition, a female passenger in the front seat of Kittredge's vehicle was also arrested.\n
The Suspect & The Officer<\/h3>\nZimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge has a rap sheet that includes charges of battery, possession of a credit card without the owner's sent; possession of a controlled substance; possession of a dangerous weapon; and trafficking a controlled substance. When police arrested him, Kittredge also had active warrants for robbery and battery out on him.\n\nEmery is a 28-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Furthermore, he has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting.\n\n\"The scene was very dynamic, this was a very violent individual,\" Zimmerman said. \"With the gun pointed at another detective, [Emery] felt he had to take action at that time. It was a split-second decision.\"\n\n\"It raises the hairs on the back of your neck; it's such a dangerous situation,\" Zimmerman added with regard to the body cam footage. \"But they have a job to do and they go in and they do it heroically, just like these guys did.\"\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=149PvISJozo","post_title":"VIDEO: Las Vegas Police Shoot Armed Robber After He Tries to Flee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-30 16:46:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-30 20:46:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/14\/las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":27},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

They then told him to get down on the ground.\u00a0Kittredge initially complied, but then\u2014as the body camera footage shows\u2014he jumped back up and got into his vehicle. He then put the car in reverse, hitting a patrol vehicle and nearly hitting a K9 officer.\n\nThat's when Sgt. Joseph Emery allegedly saw Kittredge raise a gun and aim it at officers. In response, Emery discharged his duty gun, striking Kittredge five times.\u00a0Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge was hit twice in the arm, once in the upper shoulder,\u00a0and \"he may have taken a wound to the side of the head, but not fatal, and I think he had one in the neck.\"\n\nMedical personnel arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.\u00a0Kittredge was transported to an area hospital, where he is currently in stable condition. Police found a 9mm Taurus<\/a> pistol inside his car.\n\nIn addition, a female passenger in the front seat of Kittredge's vehicle was also arrested.\n
The Suspect & The Officer<\/h3>\nZimmerman said\u00a0Kittredge has a rap sheet that includes charges of battery, possession of a credit card without the owner's sent; possession of a controlled substance; possession of a dangerous weapon; and trafficking a controlled substance. When police arrested him, Kittredge also had active warrants for robbery and battery out on him.\n\nEmery is a 28-year veteran of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Furthermore, he has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting.\n\n\"The scene was very dynamic, this was a very violent individual,\" Zimmerman said. \"With the gun pointed at another detective, [Emery] felt he had to take action at that time. It was a split-second decision.\"\n\n\"It raises the hairs on the back of your neck; it's such a dangerous situation,\" Zimmerman added with regard to the body cam footage. \"But they have a job to do and they go in and they do it heroically, just like these guys did.\"\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=149PvISJozo","post_title":"VIDEO: Las Vegas Police Shoot Armed Robber After He Tries to Flee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-30 16:46:52","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-30 20:46:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/14\/las-vegas-police-shan-kittredge\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":27},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Viridian FACT Duty WMC<\/h3>\r\n
This unique Weapon-Mounted Camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian\u2019s proprietary\u00a0Instant-On\u00a0technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nViridian claims that the FACT camera fits on most standard-issue firearms and fits in multiple duty holster platforms. The camera has a battery life of over three hours. They also incorporate secured data access and can easily be recharged, the company says.\r\n
Game Changer?<\/h3>\r\nLike we said up top, Axon currently dominates this space, but it'll be interesting to see if the Viridian FACT Duty WMC will be able to gain some momentum. The Moody Police Department is one of the first departments to adopt the camera. It's also being tested in almost 200 other departments around the country.\r\n\r\n\"The Moody Police Department\u2019s implementation of our WMC is an extremely important milestone,\" Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen said. \"This is a tremendous leap forward for policing. Current events point to the fact that body and dash cameras alone are inadequate, and because of this, nearly 200 police departments across the country are now in the process of testing and implementing FACT Duty WMCs in their departments.

Viridian FACT Duty WMC<\/h3>\r\n
This unique Weapon-Mounted Camera provides an unobstructed view of critical use-of-force events from the end of the firearm, addressing limitations officers can face with body cameras. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian\u2019s proprietary\u00a0Instant-On\u00a0technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment.<\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nViridian claims that the FACT camera fits on most standard-issue firearms and fits in multiple duty holster platforms. The camera has a battery life of over three hours. They also incorporate secured data access and can easily be recharged, the company says.\r\n
Game Changer?<\/h3>\r\nLike we said up top, Axon currently dominates this space, but it'll be interesting to see if the Viridian FACT Duty WMC will be able to gain some momentum. The Moody Police Department is one of the first departments to adopt the camera. It's also being tested in almost 200 other departments around the country.\r\n\r\n\"The Moody Police Department\u2019s implementation of our WMC is an extremely important milestone,\" Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen said. \"This is a tremendous leap forward for policing. Current events point to the fact that body and dash cameras alone are inadequate, and because of this, nearly 200 police departments across the country are now in the process of testing and implementing FACT Duty WMCs in their departments.

Game Changer?<\/h3>\r\nLike we said up top, Axon currently dominates this space, but it'll be interesting to see if the Viridian FACT Duty WMC will be able to gain some momentum. The Moody Police Department is one of the first departments to adopt the camera. It's also being tested in almost 200 other departments around the country.\r\n\r\n\"The Moody Police Department\u2019s implementation of our WMC is an extremely important milestone,\" Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen said. \"This is a tremendous leap forward for policing. Current events point to the fact that body and dash cameras alone are inadequate, and because of this, nearly 200 police departments across the country are now in the process of testing and implementing FACT Duty WMCs in their departments.
