After announcing a body camera grant application process last year, Gov. Mike DeWine's Office announced Tuesday more than 100 law enforcement agencies in the state will be the recipient of funding to purchase cameras for the first time or expand on camera systems already in place.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — After announcing a body camera grant application process last year, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's Office announced Tuesday more than 100 law enforcement agencies in the state will be the recipient of funding to purchase cameras for the first time or expand on camera systems already in place.
Currently, body cameras are not mandated in Ohio. State officials said the grant is prioritized for departments that don't have a body camera program yet. "This is just the start of many new ways we'll be helping law enforcement with state-of-the-art tools and innovative programs to fight crime and protect the public," DeWine said.
"We want to thank Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice for this grant award. We intend to dedicate the funds towards implementing and issuing body worn cameras to all our officers to enhance transparency, accountability and continue building trust in the community we serve," said CMHA Police Chief Andres Gonzalez.
