The White House Promises $263 Million For Police Body Cameras
Henry Reeve / 10 years ago
President Obama has pledged a cool $263 million, which would be put toward providing law enforcement agencies with body cameras for their officers.
This is of course a roll-on action of the events in Ferguson, with $75 million of the fund being put to good use by purchasing cameras (around 50,000 of them), with the rest of it set to storage, training and outreach programs that will hopefully increase the level of trust between law enforcement officers, and the general public.
