CHAPMANVILLE â The Chapmanville Town Council recently approved police chief Alan Browningâs request to purchase six body cameras for the townâs police department.
During his monthly report to the Chapmanville Town Council on Tuesday, April 13, Browning asked for the purchase of body cameras for each town officer, at a cost of around $300 a piece. Browning has previously inquired about the body cameras at several previous meetings, saying that they provide protection for both the officer and citizen.
Council made no qualms with Browningâs request, with councilman Robin Adams Mutters quickly motioning to purchase the body cameras. Mayor Joel McNeely remarked that the body cameras are much-needed.

He always wanted to be a police officer like his grandfather, who served briefly as Hancock County Sheriff, However, he didn’t pursue that dream until several years ago.
