Goal: Funding under the program is intended to support law enforcement, prosecutorial, and correctional agencies seeking to establish, expand, or enhance comprehensive Body-Worn Camera (BWC) programs and have specified plans to implement this technology in a manner that maximizes the benefits of BWCs in that agency setting. Both individual and partnership applications are encouraged. Objectives: Promote officer and citizen safety through comprehensive and policy-driven BWC deployments that when properly implemented may help reduce incidents of use of force, reduce complaints against officers, and mitigate the lodging of false or unfounded complaints by citizens. Promote and strengthen relationships and strategies for the administration of justice within law enforcement agencies, and in coordination with courts, prosecutors, and public defender. Improve justice outcomes by providing sound and reliable digital media evidence for use by prosecutors, defense attorneys, and courts, as well as for internal law enforcement administrative proceedings. Performance Measure 1: Total number of agencies that have received funding to acquire BWCs Performance Measure 2: Total number of BWCs purchased per agency Performance Measure 3: Total number of agencies that have improved the management and utility of digital evidence generated by BWCs

These have been awarded to agencies deploying their own BWC program as well as organizations applying for and administering awards on behalf of and in partnership with subgrantees. State administering agencies have been effective and successful in leveraging BWC funds and training and technical assistance resources.
