Body Cameras
We understand how important body-worn camera footage is in building public trust, especially during critical incidents.
The Lockland Police Department currently has 15 full-time and two reserve officers. Four officers are equipped with body cameras as part of our initial testing phase. When the program began in Fall 2024, cameras were assigned across shifts; however, scheduling changes since then have resulted in some officers rotating off those original assignments.
We initially applied for a state grant in Fall 2024 to cover the full program, and we are still awaiting the outcome of that request. In the meantime, the Village Council approved full funding in the 2025 budget. A contract was signed on February 18, 2025, and the remaining cameras are expected to ship on March 27, 2025.
With setup and training, we anticipate all officers will be fully equipped by mid-April.
We are committed to completing this rollout as quickly and responsibly as possible.
