Terrebonne Parish Council has approved buying body cameras for all Houma police officers.
Chief Todd Duplantis called it a win-win situation.
As part of the purchase of 84 body cameras, the council approved on Monday a five-year, $125,470 technology contract with the camera’s manufacturer, TASER.
The Courier reports the initial setup for the equipment and software is around $55,000. Each subsequent year will cost roughly $14,000.
Duplantis said the new software used to upload and file videos onto a secure online server will replace roughly $12,000 of existing software used by the department.
Once uploaded, Duplantis says the videos cannot be tampered with.
