$2 million in proposed funding would supply KCSO with body cameras, co-response

The King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) could receive $2 million in federal funding for body cameras and co-response support.

During a press conference on Friday, law enforcement and other officials said the plans to distribute body cameras to all KCSO patrols and increase funding for co-response support would protect officers and the community. Body cameras and co-response support would each receive $1 million in funding.

Congresswoman Kim Schrier said the county is struggling with public safety right now.

"We are all deeply frustrated by crime," Schrier said. "Our police officers and law enforcement officers need to have the tools they need in order to police, keep our communities safe and make sure we get the right resources at the right time."
