RIDGEFIELD — The police department is looking to purchase body cameras ahead of a state requirement.
Police Chief Jeff Kreitz included body cameras in the department’s proposed budget for the upcoming year during a Board of Selectman meeting on Feb. 4, which the board is now reviewing.
The total cost of the cameras is about $424,000 and would be paid over a five-year period, Kreitz said.
The department is required to have body cameras installed by July 2022 per the state’s police accountability bill, but prefers to have them before the deadline.
“We would like to get them as soon as we can, so that’s why we put it in this year’s budget process,” Kreitz said.
