Sheriff Creates Citizen Advisory Committee for Camera Policy

BIRMINGHAM, AL - Jefferson County Sheriff Mike Hale has invited community members to form a citizen advisory committee in reference to the recent initiative of equipping our personnel with body-worn camera. The first meeting of the advisory committee is today.

This advisory committee is a cross-section of area leaders and citizens of diverse race and gender, professionals and Clergy. They will view a demonstration of how the system operates, have a question and answer session and a working luncheon. After the meeting, they will be asked to go back and get input from others in their respective communities and return at a future date to give input on our written policy for use of this new tool.
