In a growing trend among police departments, Osceola County sheriff deputies could soon wear body cameras while on patrol.

The sheriff’s office was recently approved for a USDA grant worth just over $15,000 to put towards the potential purchase.

The total cost of 23 cameras which includes the offset of the grant would be a little over $29,000.

That money would come out of the sheriff capital request fund in 2016 and part of the proposed county budget for 2017.

Officials hope to have the camera ready by the new year.
