Wilton, WCSU police awaiting reimbursement from state for body cams

As more time goes by without a state budget in place, the more effects are coming to light.  The state recently launched a grant program to reimburse police departments up to 100 percent of the costs for upgrades and new body cameras. 

 

Departments were told reimbursement could take up to six months.  Western Connecticut State University and Wilton were among the police departments to take part. 

 

The Office of Policy and Management submitted requests to the Bond Commission in may, but that meeting was cancelled.  OPM told NBC Connecticut that without a budget, they can't authorize new state bonds and can't reimburse the applicants.  Wilton requested $153,731 while WCSU is seeking $26,732 in reimbursement.
