In new budget, Everett police ready to move on body cameras
EVERETT — With $300,000 earmarked in next year’s city budget, the Everett Police Department is another step closer to equipping its officers with body cameras.
A pilot program equipping 10 officers with cameras could start by the end of 2019, Everett Deputy Police Chief John DeRousse said.
The pilot will last no more than six months and will test the viability of going department-wide with the program, DeRousse said. Fully staffed, the department has more than 200 officers.
Police Chief Dan Templeman previously said that he’s been exploring the idea since 2016.
