I am proud to report that after several months of work, the Dunmore Police Department has received the good news that it was the recipient of a grant for $50,000 to purchase body-worn cameras. 

We would like to thank Representative Kyle Mullins for his critical assistance in obtaining this grant and Governor Josh Shapiro’s Office of Community and Economic Development for reviewing and approving the grant. 

The Dunmore Police Department is among the few departments in Northeastern PA that currently do not utilize body-worn cameras. When we were looking at how we could improve the department, we determined that body-worn cameras would benefit the department in many ways. 

We recognize the role that body cameras play in transparency and accountability within our community. By enhancing public trust and officer accountability, these cameras will contribute to a safer and more accountable policing environment in Dunmore.
