This past July, Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner made it clear that his department not only lacked funding but also needed Houstonians to step up.
“The citizens in Houston at some point in time we are going to have to really face how we are going to properly fund public safety,” said Finner.
“I think it’s a good step because a dash cam can tell you sometimes as much as a body cam can tell you,” said Shelby Stewart, a former member of HPD and Civil Rights Activist. “There are all kinds of benefits to having these cameras. We believe our officers show, every day our officers are doing it right on these cameras and we applaud the city for buying more,” said Doug Griffith, President of the Houston Police Officers Union.
