How the Minot Police Department uses cameras to provide transparency and safety
For the Minot Police Department, cameras aren’t just about catching wrongdoing — they’re about getting the story right. For over a decade, every officer has worn a body camera, capturing moments that might otherwise come down to one person’s word against another. Linked with patrol car cameras, the system offers a wide-angle view of every call — a tool for truth, accountability, and sometimes tough lessons. Now, the department is looking to expand its tech toolkit with license plate readers — but only after setting clear rules for their use.
With the Police Department recently bringing the use of license plate reading to City Council for consideration, this story by Will Albert with KX News provides a timely deeper look at how the department has been integrating new technology.
