PICKAWAY COUNTY, Ohio — The Sheriff of Pickaway County announced on Monday that his office will be outfitting deputies with body cameras.
The announcement was made after the county commission voted to allocate money to the Sheriff’s office to purchase the cameras.
“These tools will not only aid in the investigation of crimes but show transparency of our office to the public,” said Sheriff Matthew Hafey. “We are fortunate to have this equipment to help bring the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office into the 21st century of law enforcement.”
Hafey said that it will take approximately 4-6 weeks for the cameras to arrive and be deployed to the field. The deputies will also go through training on how to properly and fully utilize the camera systems, he said.
