This $120,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation program (CFDA 16.835) will enable the Flagler County Sheriffs Office to expand its established body-worn camera (BWC) program. The funding will support the procurement and deployment of additional BWCs within the agency's Court and Detention Services Division and Investigative Services Division. This expansion is expected to promote increased transparency, accountability, and evidentiary effectiveness in law enforcement interactions with the public. Key project activities include updating agency BWC policies, developing community education initiatives, and enhancing internal training opportunities for BWC operators. The Flagler County Sheriffs Office, a U.S. local government entity, has been an early adopter of BWC technology and plans to leverage this grant to build upon its decade of successful BWC implementation.
