The town of Trophy Club is buying its police department new body cameras through the help of a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. At its April 12 meeting, the Trophy Club Town Council approved accepting a partial grant of $21,525 from the U.S. Department of Justice for new body cameras for the police department, according to the agenda item’s memo. In total, the new body cameras will cost $42,000, the memo states. So, in addition to approving the grant, the council approved paying for the cost with its Crime Control and Prevention District fund. The town will then be reimbursed the grant’s $21,525. The town’s body camera replacement plan was set to start in fiscal year 2022-23 by replacing 10 cameras and accessories at $12,000 annually for 3-and-a-half years, according to the memo. However, the grant, which the Trophy Club Police Department applied for, makes possible the purchase of all 30 needed cameras and accessories in just one year. The new body cameras, in addition to the new accessories, will come from Motorola Solutions, according to a fact sheet. Specifically, the police department will receive its Watchguard V300 continuous-operation body cameras, which includes a detachable battery, wireless uploading and extensive storage. Both the grant acceptance and town funding were unanimously approved by the Trophy Club Town Council as part of the April 12 consent agenda.
