The Butler County Sheriff's Office is moving forward with plans to implement body cameras after receiving a state grant in December. On Monday, the Butler County Commissioners awarded a contract to the company that will supply the equipment. Butler County Sheriff, Richard Jones previously felt his deputies didn't need body cams. "We already have transparency here at the Butler County Sheriff's Office and we couldn't afford them. They were very expensive—still very expensive," he said. "If it wasn't for the grant that we're receiving for this, we still wouldn't be able to afford them." Jones said he knows the state wants law enforcement agencies to have them.
