Applications are now being accepted for the new Indiana Local Body Camera Grant (ILBC) managed by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
The ILBC program provides matching grants to city, town and county law enforcement agencies to support the purchase of body-worn cameras. The matching grant funds may be used only for the purchase of body-worn cameras and may not be used to purchase video storage equipment or services. Only one ILBC grant application will be allowed from each law enforcement agency.
The ILBC program targets two priority funding areas:
- Law enforcement agencies that have not previously purchased body-worn cameras will be eligible for up to $800 per full-time officer, and;
- Law enforcement agencies purchasing body-worn cameras to supplement an existing body-worn camera program will be eligible for up to $400 per full-time officer.
The application period is now open. All applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. ET on Feb. 18, 2022.
All applicants must be registered with the IntelliGrants system before applying. Visit the IDHS Grants Management page for complete information and instructions on registering with IntelliGrants.
Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to review the Notice of Funding Opportunity before applying. For complete details on the program, including eligibility and matching requirements, please review:
