Bennington Rescue Squad is leading the way as the first EMS agency in Vermont to equip its paramedics and EMTs with body-worn cameras.
Featured by News10 and EMS1, the department shares why it chose to implement body-worn cameras: protecting responders from workplace violence, improving accountability, supporting quality assurance, and documenting critical incidents when every second counts.
As Executive Director Bill Camarda explained, assaults on EMS providers—including grabbing, scratching, punching, and spitting—have become an unfortunate reality. Body-worn cameras provide an objective record of events, help deter aggressive behavior, and give crews valuable footage for post-incident reviews, training, and continuous quality improvement.
We're proud to support Bennington Rescue Squad as they continue setting the standard for responder safety while protecting both their providers and the communities they serve.
