The Montclair Police Department was awarded a $800,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753). The grant funds will be used to establish and implement a police body-worn camera program in the City of Montclair, California. Key activities include purchasing and deploying camera systems, evidence management systems, and associated equipment; training officers on proper use and maintenance; and developing policies for capturing, viewing, using, releasing, and storing video. Expected outcomes are a reduction in complaints and use-of-force incidents, improved police and community conduct, cost savings from reduced complaint resolution, and enhanced public trust and satisfaction with policing services. The City of Montclair, acting as the grant recipient through its Montclair Community Foundation, will oversee implementation of the body-worn camera program to benefit all residents, businesses, and individuals who directly interact with the Montclair Police Department.
