Dakota board approves $12,500 for police body cameras as chief plans retirement
Summary
With the village chief considering retirement, the board approved purchasing body cameras for the police department at a cost of $12,500 to keep the department compliant with future requirements.
The board recorded that the chief of police is looking to retire and that two other people may be interested in serving for the village. In light of that transition, Trustee Eric Lizer moved to approve the purchase of body cameras for the police department at a cost of $12,500; Jeremy Knox seconded and the motion carried.
Minutes indicate the purchase was approved unanimously. The board discussed the need to keep the village legal and up-to-date with police-equipment expectations; staff will coordinate procurement and next steps to implement the cameras.
