As part of the contract with Axon Enterprises Incorporated, the Lima Police Department will receive 60 body-worn cameras and 30 police cruiser cameras with a price tag just under $600,000. A little over $100,000 of that will be covered by a grant received by the Ohio Department of Public Safety Office of Criminal Justice Services. With this investment, councilors look forward to public safety improvements.
