The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) has been awarded a $1,024,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant funding will support IDOC's implementation of a comprehensive body-worn camera pilot program across three divisions: Probation & Parole District 3, the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, and the Special Investigations Unit. Key activities include developing a body-worn camera policy in partnership with stakeholders, procuring and deploying 512 body-worn cameras, providing staff training, and assessing the overall impact of the pilot program. The expected outcomes are increased safety for IDOC staff and residents, enhanced transparency and public trust, improved training and procedures, and data to inform a potential agency-wide body-worn camera program.
