The City of Hialeah Police Department (HPD) was awarded a $690,000 federal Project Grant under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance's Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant will enable HPD to outfit 345 sworn law enforcement officers with body-worn camera (BWC) devices and accompanying user licensing for electronic storage of video evidence. This 36-month initiative aims to upgrade HPD's existing BWC technology to enhance operational efficiency and transparency. The project includes ongoing BWC licensing costs spread across the grant period and collaboration with the program's training and technical assistance provider to ensure compliance with required policy and reporting activities. Key anticipated outcomes include improved documentation of law enforcement interactions, heightened accountability, and enhanced community trust.
