"Ask Arlington" is a show dedicated to answering the questions you have about what's happening in our city.

Each week, on the City's social media pages, we'll let you know what the topic of the "Ask Arlington" episode will be. All you have to do is post your question and we'll do our best to get it answered during our show.

This week's show features Lieutenant Leo Daniels to answer your questions about the Arlington Police Department's body-worn camera program, which launched in December 2017.

All sworn officers, sergeants, and lieutenants will be issued body-worn cameras. The department anticipates to complete the equipment roll-out to staff by the end of March 2018.

Uniforms have been retrofitted to allow integration of the body-worn camera into shirts, jackets, and safety vests. The cameras are securely mounted to the inside of the garments and capture audio and video of citizen encounters that are required by policy.

In an effort to educate the public on the department's program, a webpage has been created to highlight awareness on deployment of the body-worn cameras.

The City's Office of Communication develops programming for MyArlingtonTV. Viewers can find MyArlingtonTV programs on the following cable systems: Spectrum Channel 16 and AT&T U-Verse channel 99, and streaming capabilities at www.arlington-tx.gov.

All episodes are also available on the City's YouTube channel, Facebook page and Twitter account.
