CAMBRIDGE — The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office recently received approval to enter an agreement for body-worn cameras for deputies.
The Dorchester County Council voted Tuesday night to approve the DCSO entry into a $272,000 agreement for the cameras for officers.
The council had included $196,560 in the FY22 budget, and the approval included the acceptance of an $86,000 Bureau of Justice sub award.
Sheriff Jimmy Phillips said Wednesday it is important to get body cameras in service now, instead of waiting until the 2025 state-mandated deadline.
