MEETING OF JUNE 2, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Tabor, Chief of Police
DATE: May 12, 2015
SUBJECT: 2015 Body -Worn Camera Pilot Implementation Program Grant Application
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a multi jurisdictional grant application to the 2015 body -
Worn Camera Pilot Implementation Program with grant funding request in the amount of
$133,000 and required matching funds in the amount of $133,000 for a total project amount of

understanding. This grant requires 50% in-kind and/or cash matching funds.
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking applications for the fiscal year 2015 Body -Worn Camera
Partnership Program. This program furthers the DOJ's mission by supporting the safe and fair
administration of justice. Law enforcement agencies across the country are using body -worn
cameras (BWCs) as a promising tool to improve law enforcement interactions with the public.
BWCs can provide a visual and audio record of interactions. Some preliminary evidence
indicates that the presence of BWCs helps strengthen accountability and transparency, and can
assist in deescalating conflicts, resulting in more constructive encounters between the police
and members of the community.
DISCUSSION:
The Fayetteville Police Department will be the lead agency for this grant application in
the total project amount of $266,000. Fayetteville will apply for $51,000, Springdale will apply
for $51,000, and Washington County will apply for $31,000. Grant funds may be used to
purchase BWCs, new computer systems (excluding digital storage) required for BWC use,
travel, and training. Any increase in digital storage capacity needed to implement a BWC
Program must be purchased using local matching funds.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
If awarded, multiple sources of funds will be evaluated for meeting the local matching
requirements of $51,000. This grant application has no impact on our current staffing levels.
