TOLLAND – The Tolland Police Department was recently awarded a grant to purchase body-worn cameras for its three-member force.
“It’s for the protection of ourselves and the citizens of Tolland we serve,” said Police Chief Scott Bergeron about the $34,124 grant for the cameras and ancillary equipment needed.
And, he said, the officers are “welcoming” the new equipment understanding its importance in today’s society with cell phone cameras seemingly everywhere.
