The Aurora Police Department will use a state grant to buy new body cameras

- Paige Fisher

The Aurora Police Department will purchase new body cameras to replace the previous ones leased through an Arizona-based police tech company, Axon.

The cost for 35 body cameras is $62,862, but the city will offset this cost with a state grant of $55,092, Mayor Ann Womer Benjamin said. After the grant, the purchase will cost the city $7,770.
