The Auburn Police Department will soon employ another tactic in the ongoing battle against  drunk driving, officials said Friday. Two camcorders will soon be installed in police cruisers to strengthen OUI cases. Chief Robert Tiner said that video documentation will protect not only police officers but citizens.
