Incident Photography Team covering Central Indiana, including Indianapolis and Bloomington.

MWIPT

LET'S TALK

MWIPT is a team of independent incident photographers operating within select cities in the midwest. We use modern technology and custom software to accurately and efficiently track and capture major incidents in our coverage areas. All captured media (video and images) are made available to local news stations within minutes.

Some of our most newsworthy may have LIVE updates posted on our Twitter/X.

  • This is up to the Photographer/Reporter. For every incident/event, we capture footage of major incidents, and make that content available to the media for use on-air. Some reporters/photographers may decide to write stories and submit them to be published on this website.

  • Our group consists of volunteer and part-time photographers. We do not have any full-time photographers active, however this is an option we'd like to explore in the future.

  • We cover most "news-worthy" incidents, such as structure fires, vehicle fires, major accidents, shootings, and much more. In some cases you may see us on the scene of minor incidents, however this is likely just to capture pictures/video for our social media profiles.
