TUCSON (KVOA) - Transparency is the name of the game. Pima County Sheriff's Department said it needs hundreds of body cams to help that happen.
PCSD will be submitting a request to the Board of Supervisors for 400 to 450 body-worn cameras and tasers.
Sheriff Chris Nanos will go before the Supervisors on May 11 with a request of $1.6 million asking for the equipment.
"We are the only agency in Pima County that does not have it," the sheriff said. "So, it's time. I've been working with the Board of Supervisors, Mr. Huckelberry and they agree."
He said on Jan. 1, he submitted the proposal for the bodyworn cameras.
