The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office (SCDA) received a $984,767 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance's Body Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program (CFDA 16.835). The grant funding will enable the SCDA to establish a dedicated Body Worn Camera Unit (BWCU) to efficiently review, redact, and manage the growing volume of digital evidence from law enforcement body-worn cameras within its jurisdiction. This will allow the SCDA to adhere to state discovery laws, promote transparency, and ensure fair and equitable criminal case outcomes. The BWCU will serve as a centralized data collection and reporting body, sharing information with partner law enforcement agencies and prosecuting offices. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
