Police Body-Worn Cameras, Basin Projects Coming To Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —The Warminster Township Police Department is getting some new body-worn cameras.

Warminster Township Supervisors approved a $250,000 DCED funding contract for the cameras as an items on its consent agenda at Thursday night's meeting.

Supervisors Vice Chairman Kenneth Hayes said the funding came from former supervisor and State Rep. Brian Munroe.

"On behalf of the police chief and the supervisors, these police cameras are sorely needed," Hayes said. "Our police cameras are antiquated and have reached the end of their life."

Hayes also commented on the $912,000 grant for Warminster Municipal Authority basin projects.

He thanked Munroe and State Sen. Frank Farry for securing the funding to retrofit two stormwater basins to basically be able to go from a 25-year storm to handle a 100-year storm.

"This will help the situation tremendously," Hayes said.

Supervisors Chairwoman Kathy Frescatore thanked Hayes for his dedication in working with area politicians to seek such funding over the past four years.

"If you don't ask, you don't get anything," she said.

In other township business, supervisors approved:

• Asset management software from Open Gov for $33,005 for the installation and training purchase plus annual subscription fees.
• A change order for Werner Park Lighting Improvements.
• The final release for Tesla from the escrow account for $85,120.
