Project Schedule/Status: This program is now fully operational and continues to be evaluated. The HCSO has received and deployed body worn cameras to all sworn law enforcement members below the rank of Captain. The supporting equipment (mounting devices, charging stations, etc) has also been deployed and is currently in use.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Body worn cameras, which an increasing number of law enforcement agencies worldwide are adopting, represent one new form of technology that is significantly affecting the field of policing. Law enforcement agencies are using body worn cameras in various ways to improve evidence collection, strengthen officer performance and accountability, enhance agency transparency, document encounters with the public, and investigate and resolve complaints of officer involved incidents. Body worn cameras can help improve the high-quality public service expected of law enforcement and promote procedural justice. The request includes funds necessary for equipment, maintenance, storage, access, licenses and privacy controls for the program. Maryland law requires the Harford County Sheriff's Office to have body worn cameras by July 1, 2023. This project will be ongoing as funding includes the cost of the equipment, maintenance, cloud storage, licenses, replacement equipment and other related expenses.
