The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) received a $1,540,904 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant will fund the replacement of 825 body-worn cameras (BWCs) for all CSPD sworn officers, providing technologically superior BWCs with enhanced digital evidence management capabilities. This will improve the reliability, transparency, and accountability of CSPD's existing BWC program established in 2016 and expanded in 2021. The project will also hire a full-time evidence technician to assist with the increased workload related to processing, retaining, redacting, and releasing BWC recordings. The goal is to improve communication, education, transparency, and accountability between CSPD and the Colorado Springs community, thereby building trust and collaborative relationships. The award has a project period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
