Salem PD Implements Viridian Weapon-Mounted Cameras

Illinois Police Department in Salem has deployed the FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Camera from Viridian Weapon Technologies to all of its officers. Viridian and the police department of Salem will hold a joint press conference on Tuesday, July 2nd at 10 a.m. at the Salem City Hall located at 101 South Broadway Avenue. The FACT Duty fits standard police duty weapons and holsters and records automatically, providing an unobstructed view from the end of an officer’s firearm. The need for this product continues to be validated in current events throughout the United States. Viridian created an important category for law enforcement with the introduction of the FACT camera. This advanced 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. Over 500 agencies have been in the process of testing and implementation of the Viridian WMC since it became available last year. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology 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.
