Kim Teaho,
Please see the attached invoices for purchases of our Department’s
Body Worn Cameras. We do not have a document that shows dates on when
body cameras were deployed to officers for the first time. I can tell you
our Body Worn Camera program began on or about March 2019, we currently
have approximately 35 cameras in use for our officers and I’ve attached
our Body Worn Camera policy to this email, our BWC policy can also be
found on our Department’s website. Please advise if you need any
additional information, thank you.
