Dayton police, county deputies soon will wear body cams. Will they help? Parker Perry
Two of the largest local law enforcement departments will launch body-worn cameras soon, nearly a year after activists demanded them and even as some area police agencies and experts question their effectiveness.
Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies will begin using body cameras this week after months of work implementing the tool. The technology will help the sheriff’s office collect evidence, monitor deputy activity and resolve conflicts between policing officials and the public, Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck said.
“If the footage shows that a deputy didn’t do anything wrong, then that’s good, and if it shows a deputy not acting properly and we can address that, that’s good too,” Streck said.

New Lebanon officer’s body cam footage: “I will freakin’ shoot you if you move” Parker Perry

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations inquiry into the Dec. 10 officer-involved shooting on Franklin Street in New Lebanon continues. BCI released the body camera footage Friday afternoon after the Dayton Daily News requested it via Ohio’s public records laws.
