Forty-nine law enforcement agencies will use the money to buy body cameras for the first time, while another 60 will upgrade technology such as computer equipment, software, and video storage, Gov. DeWine’s office said in a news release.
Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine will roll out $4.7 million in grants for police agencies across the state to purchase and maintain body camera equipment. CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority and Euclid police department are among 109 law enforcement agencies across Ohio receiving $4.7 million in grants to start or maintain body camera programs.
Up to two-thirds of all Ohio law enforcement agencies have not been using body cameras, partly due to the high costs of equipment and video storage, the release says.“Body cameras have quickly become a necessary tool for modern policing,” DeWine said in the release. “With these grants, more than four dozen law enforcement agencies that have never had body cameras before will be able to invest in this technology to help protect their officers and offer transparency to the public.
The CMHA police department will use its $120,275 grant to provide body cameras to its officers for the first time, the release says.
