DHS announces its first department-wide body camera policy year after Biden executive order on police reform
Fox News
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced DHS's first body-worn camera policy a year after President Biden's executive order.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the plan for its law enforcement officers and agents will include a phased implementation of body worn cameras while working with Congress to secure the necessary funding to equip agents nationwide. Within 180 days, DHS agencies and offices will draft and issue, or update, their own individual body-worn camera policies "that meet or exceed the requirements set forth in the Department-wide policy," the announcement said.
