Kyle Police Chief Jeff Barnett is set to meet with the district attorney’s office and other Hays County officials to discuss the best path to update the department’s two “outdated” in-car video camera systems.
Besides updating the existing systems in two of the department’s patrol cars, Barnett said he hopes the city, in partnership with the county, can find a cost effective avenue that would allow them to outfit the mental health officer and the warrant processing officer’s vehicles. Both of those vehicles do not have in-car cameras.
Barnett said the move is to transition to the Data 911 system, which the department switched to in 2014. The two units, however, are on the older and out-of-date Coban system.
