Author: Chelsea Shannon Updated: 4:01 PM PDT April 29, 2021 AUBURN, Calif. — In 2022, nearly 300 deputies for the Placer County Sheriff's Office should be trained and equipped with body cameras. The move comes after the Placer County Board of Supervisors approved $4.8 million to fund the program, a first for the department. Sheriff's Office spokesperson Angela Musallam said the department sees body cameras as necessary for all deputies and officers in the department. She added that the department has looked at the Motorola V300 body camera as the model they would like to have.
