In a statement released to media early Monday morning, the department said the money for the Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Pilot Partnership Program will include $17 million worth of grants for the purchase of BWCs and $2 million for training and technical assistance, as well as $ 1 million to allow for the development of evaluation and best practice processes.

This body-worn camera pilot program is a vital part of the Justice Department’s comprehensive efforts to equip law enforcement agencies throughout the country with the tools, support, and training they need to tackle the 21st century challenges we face.
Body-worn cameras hold tremendous promise for enhancing transparency, promoting accountability, and advancing public safety for law enforcement officers and the communities they serve."
