Thank you for the speedy response. I understand that no bodycam footage exists as bodycams were not being used by your department at the time. Does any dashcam footage exist from Officer Wade related to this incident? And/or any footage obtained during the course of the investigation (from the ambulance, video doorbells, surveillance, etc)?
From: Pierce Township Police Department
No dashcam footage, our Cruisers do not have dashcams, and the Pierce Township Fire Department’s Emergency vehicles are not equipped with cameras. Also, the incident happened outside the Pierce Township Police Department's jurisdiction, so the investigation and any collecting of surveillance would have been done by the State Highway Patrol. Thank you. And be safe.
