Bryan council authorizes police to apply for state body‑worn camera grant
Summary
Council passed a resolution authorizing the police chief to apply for state grant funding for body‑worn camera licensing and warranty/software coverage.
At the Sept. 15 meeting, the Bryan City Council approved Resolution number 41 2025 authorizing the police chief to apply for state grant funding for body‑worn cameras.
The police chief told the council the state had opened another round of body‑worn camera grant funding and asked for permission to apply to cover licensing and warranty/software support. Council voted in favor of the resolution; affirmative responses recorded in the transcript included Steve, John, Jim, Rick and Mary.
The resolution authorizes application only; no award was reported at the meeting. The police chief said the grant would be used for licensing and warranty/software coverage rather than for initial equipment purchases alone.
Background: the council routinely approves grant applications so departments may pursue external funding; the transcript shows the police chief requested permission to apply and the council approved the request at the meeting.
