The County of Monterey Health Department Division was awarded a $600,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance, under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation program (CFDA 16.835). The funding will support the county's sheriff's office in establishing a comprehensive body-worn camera (BWC) program. This includes the acquisition of BWCs and associated data storage solutions, as well as the development of policies, training, and best practices for BWC usage. The grant aims to enhance transparency, safety, and accountability within the sheriff's office, which patrols over 3,700 square miles and operates a county correctional facility. The BWC program is expected to assist with investigations, provide digital evidence for prosecutions, and promote positive community interactions. The project period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
