Nampa police body cameras to be provided by Utility Associates Inc.

NAMPA, Idaho – Police officers in Nampa are likely to be wearing new body cameras in 2017.

The Idaho Press-Tribune reported that police department administrators selected Utility Associates Inc. to provide new cameras and software at a price of no more than $100,000. The department got $85,000 in grant money to buy the cameras, and the city will cover the rest.

Capt. Brad Daniels said the department’s body-worn cameras are 7 years old and wearing out. With the exception of administrators, all uniformed Nampa officers wear them.
