Police officers in Eau Claire won’t be getting body cameras anytime soon. The city council shelved the plan to equip the city’s 100 officers with cameras because it would cost too much.
City Council President Terry Weld says the cameras alone would cost 230-thousand-dollars, but the maintenance could cost 150-thousand-dollars a piece over the next four years. Weld says Eau Claire doesn’t have that kind of money to spend.
