One month after the police killing of Roger Allen, lawmakers in Daly City approved a plan Wednesday to buy body cameras for the city’s police department.
During a special session Wednesday evening, the five-member City Council unanimously agreed to pay $1.35 million for 100 body cameras and 32 patrol car cameras. Police will begin wearing the cameras by October, Police Chief Patrick Hensley said.
