The Frontier: Sheriff's Office Set To Announce Impending Purchase Of Body Cameras

Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado told The Frontier he is set to announce a “creative way” to purchase body cameras for the department’s deputies.

But Regalado wouldn’t say yet how he’d found the money to purchase the cameras, opting instead to release the information during a media conference he said will happen before the end of December.

“We’ve found a creative way to get the body cameras,” he said. “We’re just not in a position yet to announce how.”

Terry Simonson, TCSO’s director of Governmental Affairs, said in an email to The Frontier in November that he was “earnestly looking” for funds for the cameras, but had so far come up short.
