The Leon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) received a $359,999 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant funding will enable LCSO to expand its existing body-worn camera (BWC) program, with expected outcomes including improved officer safety, evidence collection, transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices, reduced excessive use of force incidents, and enhanced community relations and trust. Specific activities include purchasing new BWC equipment, expanding technical support for the additional cameras, and developing expanded policies and training for BWC implementation in corrections settings. The grant will also support an evaluation process to ensure successful program expansion, and the LCSO will work with a designated training and technical assistance provider throughout the three-year award period.
