While it is common practice for police activities to be recorded for training purposes or to be used in a [[trial]], the act is most often performed with fixed cameras mounted on the [[Dashcam|dashboard]] of a police vehicle or through the use of a [[videographer]] holding a hand-held camera. ''Police POV'' instead uses [[Headset (audio)|headset]]-style cameras called an [[Taser International#Body Worn Cameras|AXON camera]] with the recording lens close enough to the wearer's eye to give the viewer a direct [[sightline]] of the events.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Page |first=Lewis |date=18 April 2011 |title=Police head-cam TV show debuts in US |url=https://www.theregister.com/2011/04/18/police_pov/ |access-date=June 28, 2024 |website=[[The Register]]}}</ref> The show featured officers from the [[Cincinnati Police Department|Cincinnati]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Kate |date=October 3, 2011 |title=Chattanooga becoming a destination for police reality TV shows |url=https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/oct/03/chattanooga-police-make-for-arresting-tv/ |access-date=June 28, 2024 |website=[[Chattanooga Times Free Press]]}}</ref> [[Fort Smith, Arkansas|Fort Smith]], and [[Chattanooga Police Department (Tennessee)|Chattanooga]] police departments.
