This $246,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.835 - Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program) will enable the Long Beach Police Department to expand its body-worn camera program to include 123 cameras for non-sworn employees who have daily interactions with citizens. The funding will cover the purchase of the body-worn cameras, provide end-user training, and deploy the cameras in the field to enhance the safety of non-sworn personnel and improve the department's community engagement efforts related to body-worn cameras and digital evidence. The project aims to increase the department's capacity to document interactions between the community and non-sworn personnel, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and de-escalation of conflicts between police and community members.
