BJA FY 15 Body-Worn Camera Pilot Implementation Program: Law enforcement agencies across the country and worldwide are using body-worn cameras
(BWCs) as a promising tool to improve law enforcement interactions with the public. BWCs can
provide a visual and audio record of interactions. Some preliminary evidence indicates that the
presence of BWCs helps strengthen accountability and transparency, and can assist in de-
escalating conflicts, resulting in more constructive encounters between the police and members
of the community. This competitive solicitation is for law enforcement agencies seeking to
establish or enhance BWC Policy and Implementation Programs (PIP). Successful applicants
will be responsible for a mandatory 50 percent in-kind or cash match.
