1. We purchased/ordered 20 body worn cameras in May of 2021. On any given
day we probably have about 4-15 deployed depending on assignments.
2. Our agency began using body cameras around July, 2022. We currently do
not have dashboard car cameras.
3. All available invoices are attached.
4. Our BWC's are not assigned specifically to any one Officer. They are
assigned out each day and returned at the conclusion of their shift.
