The city of Danville Police Department will use funds to purchase the equipment necessary to improve the quality and quantity of audio/video recordings of interactions between law enforcement officers and individuals in the community. Additionally, funds will be used to increase the efficiency in which these recordings are utilized and stored, thereby improving the criminal justice process.
