this funding.
The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) is establishing a cooperative purchasing program for
body -worn cameras. Grantees may wish to check with DIR to determine if they can receive better pricing
through the department, or to compare vendor offers against the department's pricing. DIR is also actively
seeking agencies wishing to test a cloud -based video storage system and may offer incentives to
participate.
Ineligible Costs and Activities
Grant funds may not be used to support the following services, activities, and costs:
1) Costs ancillary to the purchase of cameras, storage, or the program operation, such as policy
development, training costs, staff, or any other item determined ineligible or unreasonable by CJD.
2) Any other prohibition imposed by federal, state, or local law.
Reporting Requirements
Financial and Progress Reports. At the end of each state fiscal quarter during the one-year grant period,
grantees will be required to submit a financial status report via eGrants in the format required by CJD.
Performance Reports. Each grantee must agree to submit an online report to the Texas Commission on Law
Enforcement (TCOLE) at https://www.tcole.texas.gov/ within 30 days of the date the grantee submits its
final request for reimbursement to CJD, indicating that all purchases are complete. As a condition of
funding, each grantee must file follow-up reports via the TCOLE website 12, 24, and 36 months later, for a
total of three annual reports. Each of these reports will include information covering the previous 12

• number of arrests for hindering apprehension or prosecution (Texas Penal Code Sec. 38.05);
and
• number of arrests for interference with public duties (Texas Penal Code Sec. 38.15).
CJD Funding Announcement: Body -Worn Camera Program
Program -Specific Requirements
Statutory Requirements. Chapter 1701, Occupations Code, Subchapter N governs this grant program as
well as the use of body -worn cameras by law enforcement in general. CJD strongly encourages all
applicants to read this statute prior to applying for funds as it contains other legal requirements as well as
criminal penalties for certain unapproved releases of digital information. It is critical that all law
enforcement agencies using body -worn cameras have a clear understanding of this statute and all rules
governing these programs as they are both state law and conditions of funding.
Department Policies. A grantee, before CJD can reimburse for any costs, must have developed and have in
place all policies required under Subchapter N, Chapter 1701, Occupations Code, including the policy
required under Sec. 1701.655. Departments that actively operated a program as of September 1, 2015 have
until September 1, 2016 to implement compliant policies. Such a policy must ensure that cameras are
activated only for law enforcement purposes and must include:
• guidelines for when a peace officer should activate a camera or discontinue a recording in
progress, including the need for privacy in certain situations or locations;
• provisions relating to data retention, including a minimum retention period of 90 days;
• provisions relating to storage of video and audio, including backup copies and data security;
• guidelines for public access, through open records requests, where the recordings are public
information;
• provisions entitling an officer to access any recording of an incident involving that officer prior
to being required to make a statement;
• procedures for supervisory or internal review;
• the methods for handling and documenting equipment and malfunctions of equipment;
• a provision that law enforcement officers may not be required to keep a body -worn camera
activated for the full period of their duty shift; and
• all policies adopted must be consistent with the Federal Rules of Evidence and the Texas Rules
of Evidence.
TCOLE is developing model policies for publication in January 2016, which may be helpful in establishing
agency policies. All policies adopted by grantees must abide by any minimum standards established by
TCOLE.
For agencies that operated a body -worn camera program on September 1, 2015, these policies are not
required to be implemented until September 1, 2016.
Training. All officers who will be equipped with cameras purchased under the program must be trained
before doing so in official duty and CJD cannot reimburse any costs until this training has occurred. Such
training must comply with the requirements of Sec. 1701.656, Occupations Code, which requires that,
prior to operating a body -worn camera program, the grantee must train the officers who will wear the
cameras as well as any other personnel who will come into contact with the video and audio data
obtained through the program.
To assist law enforcement agencies in this task, TCOLE is charged with developing or identifying and
approving a training program for the use of body -worn cameras. TCOLE expects to publish its training
GD Funding Announcement: Body -Worn Camera Program
curriculum in January 2016. Law enforcement agencies, however, may use their own training, that of
another agency or department, an existing training curriculum, or that of TCOLE to satisfy the requirements
of this program. However, all such training must meet any minimum standards established by TCOLE.
For agencies that operated a body -worn camera program on September 1, 2015, this training is not
required until September 1, 2016.
Sustainment. Grantees must agree to maintain the equipment, replace broken or nonworking equipment,
and maintain adequate digital video storage for a period of not less than three years from the date of final
grant award.
Standard CJD Requirements
CJD Regulations. Grantees must comply with the standards applicable to this funding source cited in the
Texas Administrative Code (1 TAC Chapter 3), and all statutes, requirements, and guidelines applicable to
this funding.
Uniform Crime Reports. Eligible applicants operating a law enforcement agency must be current on
reporting Part I violent crime data to the Texas Department of Public Safety for inclusion in the annual
Uniform Crime Report (UCR) and must have been current for the three previous years.
Criminal History Reporting. The county (or counties) in which the applicant is located must have a 90%
average on both adult and juvenile criminal history dispositions reported to the Texas Department of Public
Safety for calendar years 2010 through 2014.
Step 3: Submit your preliminary application
Online Submission
CJD will only accept preliminary applications via a webform published at
htto://gov.texas.gov/cid/bodycams upon the opening of the preliminary application period.
Content
As part of the preliminary application, agencies will be asked to submit the following information via online
form:
1) DUNS number of the agency
2) Agency information
3) Contact information
4) The number of licensed officers directly employed by the agency
5) The number of licensed, front-line officers who are engaged in traffic or highway patrol or
otherwise regularly detain or stop motor vehicles, or are primary responders who respond
directly to calls for assistance from the public
6) The current number of officers equipped with BWCs
7) If the agency already uses BWCs, the method of video storage currently used
8) A budget estimate that includes:
CJD Funding Announcement: Body -Worn Camera Program
a) the proposed number of officers to be equipped
b) the total proposed budget, including the match
c) the budget for cameras, including the number to be purchased and their make and
model
d) the budget for storage, including the capacity and method of storage
e) the source of the match
f) The amount and source of any government funding, grants, or philanthropic funds received
by the agency in the last three years for the purchase BWCs or related video storage
systems, including funds formally budgeted by the agency's governing board.
9) Information to establish the baseline for impact evaluation of the program. This information
includes, for the twelve full calendar months prior to submitting the application:
a) number of public complaints filed against officers or the agency;
b) number of public complaints sustained (i.e. those that were not dismissed);
c) number of use of force incidents (as defined by the applicant);
d) number of arrests for resisting arrest, search, or transportation (Texas Penal Code Sec.
38.03);
e) number of arrests for evading arrest or detention (Texas Penal Code Sec. 38.04);
f) number of arrests for hindering apprehension or prosecution (Texas Penal Code Sec.
38.05); and
g) number of arrests for interference with public duties (Texas Penal Code Sec. 38.15).
Step 4: Review your Funding Decision
Selection and Fund Allocation Criteria
CID will review the preliminary applications to understand the overall demand for the program and for
significant variations in costs per unit (both for cameras and the cost for storage on a per camera basis).
After this review, CID will determine if all eligible applications can be funded based on funds available, if
there are cost-effectiveness benefits to normalizing or setting limits on the range of costs, and if other fair -
share cuts may allow for broader distribution and a higher number of new body -worn camera programs
while still remaining effective. Additionally, CJD may consider other factors in determining which programs
to fund, such as geographic distribution, fairness among different sizes of population areas, need based on
crime rate or other similar factors, including economic factors. If the interest in grant funds exceeds
available funding, CID may not fund all applications or may only award part of the amount requested.
Announcements
After CID makes initial funding decisions, each department will receive a notice that the applicant may
proceed to final application, including any funding limits or other parameters that the applicant may need
to consider whether to complete the final application process. While the decision to fund a program
represents a good -faith offer, if CID later determines that there are issues with a particular agency or
application, finds that costs are not reasonable, that the agency represents an undue risk, or if funds
CJD Funding Announcement: Body -Worn Camera Program
become unavailable, CJD reserves the right to not fund the application. Applicants should expect to hear
from CJD on or around January 18, 2016.
Step 5: Apply via eGrants
Basics
To apply to CJD for these grants, you must complete or make sure you have already completed some
standard requirements. All of the following are needed to apply within eGrants:
• Applicants must have a DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) number assigned to its agency
(to request a DUNS number, go to http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do).
• Applicants must be registered in the federal System for Award Management (SAM) database
located at https://www.sam.gov/ and maintain an active registration throughout the grant period.
• Applicants must have or register for an account in eGrants at https://egrants.gov.texas.gov/.
Rolling Application and Award Process
CJD understands that some departments may choose to delay their body -worn camera programs to take
the time needed to carefully consider their policies and training programs or to identify matching funds. As
a result, CID will process grant applications that are submitted through eGrants as they arrive. While CJD
will work to process applications as quickly as possible, applicants should plan to expect a four to six week
review and approval period following submission of the application. The open period for applications is
January 20 through July 15, 2016.
District Attorney Coordination Letter
Before an applicant can receive reimbursement funds, they must upload a letter from the local district
attorney expressing that they actively use the evidence created through the use of body cameras and will
participate in the law enforcement agency's BWC policy development. More information and a sample
resolution are available at http://gov.texas.gov/cid/bodvcams.
Governing Board Letter
Before an applicant can receive reimbursement funds, they must upload a copy of a resolution from their
governing body designating an individual as the responsible official for the grant, committing to work with
the District Attorney in the development of BWC policies and trainings and granting access to video
evidence. The resolution must also contain a commitment to maintain the cameras and equipment
purchased under the grant for at least three years, and an estimated budget needed to accomplish that.
More information and a sample resolution are available at http://gov.texas.gov/cid/bodvcams.
Step 6: Accept the Award
Applicants that receive funding through the final award process will need to follow the instructions found
within the award to accept the grant officially. CJD cannot reimburse grantees for funds until all training is
provided and policies are in place (see Step 3). As a result, awards may include conditions requiring those
activities to be completed and certified to CJD prior to release of funds.
CJD Funding Announcement: Body -Worn Camera Program
Appendix: Research and Reference Material on Body -Worn Camera
Programs
The Bureau of Justice Assistance has developed a Body -Worn Camera Toolkit that serves as a clearinghouse
for information and available research on these programs. The toolkit includes a large set of reports and
information including guidance, research, and project evaluations.
The toolkit can be found at: https://www.b*a.gov/bwc/
Much of the information below about resources is excerpted from BJA's toolkit.
Resource Highlights
There are several useful resources on body -worn cameras (BWC). The Police Executive Research Forum
(PERF) and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office published a report in 2014
that examined key issues and offered policy recommendations. The report was based on survey responses
from 254 agencies, interviews with 40 law enforcement executives who have implemented BWCs, and
outcomes from a one -day conference held on September 11, 2013, that included more than 200 law
enforcement executives, scholars, and experts. In April 2014, the Office of Justice Programs Diagnostic
Center published a report that described the core issues surrounding the technology and examined the
state of research on those issues (White, 2014). In March 2014, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
published a market survey that compared BWC vendors across a range of categories. There is also a
growing number of published evaluations that examine the implementation, impact, and consequences of
body -worn cameras. The BJA web site and toolkit is intended to be a clearinghouse of the latest available
research, reports, and knowledge on the technology.
For additional information, see:

Text of Legislative File CM -2015-990
The proposed preliminary grant application would seek $75,000 from the Office of the
Governor Criminal Justice Division and a $25,000 match from the City for a total of
$100,000 to implement the use of body -worn cameras by the Police Department's field
personnel. Recent years have seen several high-profile incidents that have shaken the
public's faith in law enforcement in communities across the country. With the increased
demands nationwide for transparency, public trust, and accountability in policing, the
Department seeks to implement body -worn cameras and necessary policies as part of its
mission to provide public safety and help maintain a high quality of life for community.
The grant will cover the purchase of cameras and a portion of the storage required for
implementation of body -worn cameras by sworn personnel. In the grant, there is $55,000
earmarked for storage, but the IT Department estimates that it will cost closer to $100,0001
depending on data storage needs and the possibility that we may have to purchase
additional servers once the program is fully implemented. There are sufficient funds
remaining in the Self -Finance Construction fund to cover this additional purchase if it is
needed. The Department also would be required to develop partnerships with prosecution
agencies regarding the use of such video.
The City's 25 percent match would come from the Self -Finance Construction funds included
in the FY 2016 budget.
Staff recommends approval.
