IMPD began issuing bodywn cameras to officers in 2020. Bodywn cameras are designed to increase transparency, ensure accountability, and enhance public trust by effectively using captured video. Additionally, the camera footage can be used to highlight the realities of police work used in administrative and criminal investigations and to improve training and policies. Bodywn cameras, while valuable tools, only capture a portion of an officer's field of view. In addition, the bodywn camera video clarity is limited when compared to the human eye. IMPD uses bodywn cameras that are designed to self-activate if certain standards are met. For example, a camera will activate when an officer arrives within 500 ft of a dispatch run, begins to run, or violently shakes during a physical altercation. The camera is in a horizontal position for an extended period of time if an officer activates emergency equipment within his or her patrol vehicle or if an officer activates the camera by using a remote. The camera is attached to the officer's uniform mid-level in the chest area. The lens is fixed and does not capture everything that is seen and or experienced by the officer. Once the bodywn camera is activated, it has a 30-se secondond buffer during which both audio and video are recorded. This feature allows video to capture sudden incidents where either the bodywn camera self-activates or not. In July 2024, the IMPD began installing in-car camera systems across its fleet with a total investment of,400 cameras to outfit 700 vehicles. The roll out prioritizes traffic and district patrol cars which have the highest interaction rates with the community. Each marked police vehicle will be equipped with two cameras. The forward- facing camera is intended to capture a limited view through the front windshield, reflecting the officer's perspective. The interior backseat camera focuses on the back seat recording the actions and behaviors of individuals in custody. Once the incar video is activated, it has a 30-second buffer during which the audio is not activated, but the video is. The cameras are fixed and do not capture everything that is seen and or experienced by the officer. This critical incident video details an officer involved shooting that occurred on November 14th, 2024 at approximately 4:27 p.m. This video was created in the days following the incident with the intention of increasing public understanding of what occurred. However, following this incident, criminal charges were filed against Terrence Shane under cause number 49D21-2411- F3-3379. The ongoing criminal case prevented the release of certain evidence, including this video, while the case was pending. Now that the criminal case is completed, IMPD is releasing the following video.
