ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. – The Altamonte Springs Police Department was the first law enforcement agency in Central Florida to install dash-mounted car cameras almost three decades ago, according to Sgt.
Rob Ruiz.Ruiz said the old cameras were big and bulky, taking up much of the car and recorded on VHS when they were added in 1993.The Altamonte Springs PD did it for one main reason, according to Ruiz: transparency."That's one of the best things about our agency," Ruiz said.
