What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to expand the adoption of body-worn cameras (BWCs) in state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, including correctional agencies that perform law enforcement functions. BJA also seeks to assist agencies that have existing BWC programs expand and refine those programs, and BJA seeks to promote the more effective management, sharing, and integration of digital evidence generated by BWCs within and between criminal justice agencies.
