Body cameras are a MUST in today’s environment for law enforcement. It is nothing short of Perplexing as to why this Sheriff refuse’s to join every other law enforcement agency in the Tamp area and equip our deputies with body cameras. Unless of course you are afraid of what the public will see when you violate the constitutional rights of the ones you are sworn to protect. Enough Alvin. Your bosses who pay your salary are demanding the transparency now!!
