(AP) — The Honolulu Police Department’s chief says she expects to complete the rollout of a body-worn camera program for officers by the end of March. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Chief Susan Ballard provided the equipment distribution update to the Honolulu Police Commission. The department started outfitting officers with 1,200 cameras in August 2018, including personnel in all eight patrol districts and the department’s traffic division. All of the cameras had been expected to be issued by the end of 2020. But the police department says a billing discrepancy with the city’s Department of Budget and Fiscal Services caused a delay.
