The Justice Department announced Wednesday that it will release $7.65 million in competitive microgrants to fund body-worn cameras to small, rural and tribal law-enforcement agencies.
The funds must be used to buy or lease body-worn cameras, and can include reasonable related expenses. Funds can also be used to support body-cam pilot programs, establish new implementation, or expand existing programs. Click here for more information or to apply. Applications are due Aug. 31.
"The grant solicitation today will help law enforcement agencies and their communities improve evidentiary outcomes, and enhance the safety of, and improve interactions between, officers and the public," Bureau of Justice Assistance Acting Director Kristen Mahoney in a press release. "Importantly, this grant program will make it easier for small, rural and Tribal law enforcement agencies to apply for funding. It’s an online application that will streamline the grant process for these agencies."
