ELKHART — Following complaints about police relations with south central city residents, Mayor Dick Moore embraced the idea of using vest cams and other initiatives aimed at improving relations between residents and officers.
In a news conference Friday morning, Aug. 22, Moore critiqued many of the proposals set forth by the Elkhart Community Roundtable, including vest cams, and also condemned some of the language used by police that was caught on video on July 3.
Moore estimated the cost of purchasing vest cams would be about $40,000.
”I believe it's good for the officer and the public,” Moore said.
“We can find the money,” he said.
