JCPD wants to move ahead with body cameras

You could soon see Jefferson City police officers wearing body cameras. But they won’t come cheap. The Jefferson City Council okayed the JCPD to pursue a $180,000 grant to pay for some of the cost. Lt. Dave Williams says the plan is to equip every officer with a camera …

Buying those cameras and support equipment will cost about $660,000. Columbia police are currently using body cameras.
