Police Departments throughout New Jersey are expected to receive funding for body cams, according to reports.

This past Summer, Governor Christie announced $ million in funding for body cams for State Police, saying, “In New Jersey we’re doing things differently and showing how engagement and relationship-building by officers in their communities make our neighborhoods safer and our law enforcement efforts more effective. Through that same type of work together, we are now strengthening those efforts with the use of body cameras by police that will bolster trust, and better provide for the safety and protection of residents and officers alike.”

Acting Attorney General Hoffman today is expected to announce the funding for the program, which will reportedly be funded through moneys forfeited by criminals.
