Snohomish County sheriff's deputies will wear body cams
EVERETT — All Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies will begin wearing body cameras in 2022.
On Thursday, the sheriff’s office launched a six-week test in which 12 deputies will wear several types of cameras, sheriff’s office spokesperson Courtney O’Keefe said.
At the end of the trial, the sheriff’s office plans to choose one of three models, eventually outfitting every deputy in the county with a camera.
The county plans to purchase the cameras in 2022. The sheriff’s office is requesting $1 million from the county’s 2022 budget to start the program.
