I'm sure that this will clearly (not) change things in the JPSO, but at least it's coming after so many years of outcry.

Interesting...but...500 cameras for $8.75 million? What the hell?

I'm sure someone is getting a HUGE kickback from that "deal". This report is from 6 years ago.

How Are States Going to Pay for Those Police Body Cameras?

The price of a single camera ranges widely, but managing and storing the video costs many times the price of the cameras themselves.

The price of a single camera ranges widely, from less than $100 to more than $1,000, based on the size of the purchase (larger police departments often get a discount) and whether the deal includes data storage services. But managing and storing the video costs many times the price of the cameras themselves. And because the technology is so new, it’s likely that it will have to be replaced fairly quickly, which would require additional expenditures.

But it is the ongoing costs that are the real challenge. The New Orleans Police Department plans to purchase 350 body cameras, but is budgeting $1.2 million over five years, mostly for data storage.

Well, that makes sense, but still, that's an awful lot of money for cameras plus storage and I would assume maintenance and other ancillary costs.

Three children attacked a Black woman. A sheriff’s deputy arrived — and beat her more.

A new video, which shows a deputy slamming a Black woman’s head into the ground, raises more questions.

I seriously hate the JPSO.

I'd like to think he would be fired, but he'll probably get a promation and a metal for his bravery.

Lopinto had to swallow his pride. I mean. Took long enough.

It seems clear to me that there are police departments across the country that aren't interested with earning the public's trust.

Miami City Commission votes unanimously to terminate Police Chief Acevedo

The Miami City Commission on Thursday evening voted unanimously to affirm the suspension of Police Chief Art Acevedo and immediately remove him from his position.

I get the message, "shut-up and color"!

They have a lot in common with the Catolic Church. Ignore and cover up, its the best solution....

We are on our 4th camera system in 12 years. They become outdated quickly and don't hold up very well. Cities don't like paying the huge price for these even though time and again it saves officers against false claims and the cities millions of dollars

I’m sure you mean the Catholic Church and not some weird cat o licking cult (which may or may not be worse)….don’t forget the covering up part and moving pedophiles around so they can spread their religious “acts” to children in other places….

dang it, i'm in trouble for talking about it.. first rule of catolic church is don't talk about catolic church...lol

Yes, happens the same with the police dept. instead of firing bad cops they can just transfer to another dept or even when they get fired they'll just end up on another PD.
Until i posted this, i never really noticed how similar the two are.

Well, it's certainly not unique to either organization. It happens all the time. We just don't hear as much about it in lower profile cases.
