About 10 officers a day will get body cameras, with the goal of outfitting all officers by the end of the year.
Officers assigned to IMPD's East District, the department's busiest district, will get the cameras first.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, City-County Council President Vop Osili, IMPD leaders, and a community member, are scheduled to have a virtual press conference at 1 p.m. Monday to kick off the installations.
Details on the department's body-worn camera policies are expected to be announced during the press conference.
