Grants distributed from the state's Office of Criminal Justice Services went to seven local agencies to start or enhance body camera programs.
The Franklin County Sheriff's office and six other area law enforcement agencies will receive a combined total of more than $500,000 from the state to help start or enhance body-camera programs, Gov. Mike DeWine's office has announced.
Meade ordered Goodson to drop his gun, his attorneys say, then shot Goodson. A coroner's report says Goodson was struck six times from behind. His family says Goodson's keys were in the door, he was carrying Subway sandwiches, and had a legal permit to carry a concealed weapon. Weeks after the shooting, the Franklin County Commissioners set aside $2.5 million for the sheriff's office to obtain body cameras. More than a year has passed since Goodson's death and the sheriff's office has not yet introduced cameras to its personnel.
Newark police, in Licking County, also received nearly $100,000 in funding to start a body camera program.
