Sheriff: Body cameras by year's end
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel (Brittany Wallman / Sun Sentinel)A small contingent of deputies will be outfitted with body cameras by year's end, Sheriff Scott Israel said this week.
The Broward Sheriff's Office plans a pilot program in which 25 body cameras will be placed on deputies who train new recruits. The cameras are expected to be provided to the agency at no cost by a yet-to-be-selected vendor, said Capt. Jonathan Appel, who will be in charge of the program. The county would pay for staffing to handle the videos.
