Landsman Delivers $1M for Cincinnati Police Cameras

Cincinnati, OH – Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) announced that funding for Cincinnati police cameras and mental health resources has been signed into law as part of a federal government funding bill.

The Cincinnati Police Department Camera Technology and Mental Health Response Team Project will deliver $1,039,000 to support the Cincinnati Police Department and the Emergency Communication Center through the addition of new cameras and upgrades to existing camera technology. The funding will also help to strengthen CPD’s Alternative Response to Crisis program by expanding mental health and medical response to crisis calls.

Each year, the Community Project Funding process allows members of Congress to accept applications for local projects in need of funding assistance, review those projects, and then submit up to 15 projects to the House Appropriations Committee for possible inclusion in the federal government budget.

The Cincinnati Police Department Camera Technology and Mental Health Response Team Project is one of 14 local projects, totaling $12 million, that Landsman is fighting to pass in federal government funding bills.

Congressman Landsman:

“This bipartisan win shows what Congress can do when we work together. Bringing $1 million to Cincinnati for new cameras will give law enforcement what they need to stop criminals and hold them accountable. Every child and family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood.”
