Tulsa Deputies Will Get Body Cams on a Trial Basis

File photo

The company Axom is donating 55 body cams to the Tulsa Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Vic Regalado has been searching for a way to outfit patrol deputies with body cameras. He says the deal with Axom is a way to test how the body cams work in the field and if they are the best fit for the office.

Tulsa County leaders approved a one-year contract with Axom, which will donate the cameras and maintenance for the first year, then the Sheriff will decide whether to sign a longer term contract.
