 Well the Brainerd City Council has approved the purchase of body-worn cameras for the Brainerd Police Department. The council approved the purchase of the new equipment along with the software for the program. The cameras cost $37,000. In addition to the software, they'll have an annual fee of nearly $23,000. But the council members agreed that it was time to implement this technology into the community. It was one of the models that we tested back last fall and last winter. So most of the staff is pretty familiar with it. We've already had access to the software and their website. So we should be able to, once we get the devices and get the initial set up done, we should be able to get active with them fairly quickly. So I'm hoping by late October. The purchase will include 24 body-worn cameras for all officers and also an additional two cameras for spares.
