MONTGOMERY – Gov. Robert Bentley has awarded a $2,473 grant to help the city of Elba purchase body cameras for the police department.

The cameras will record interactions with residents, and the footage can be used for officer training or as evidence in court.

The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the grant from funds made available to the state by the U.S. Department of Justice. ADECA administers a wide range of programs that support law enforcement, economic development, water resource management, energy conservation and recreation.

Bentley notified Mayor Mickey Murdock that the grant had been approved.
