Two years after getting money from the state attorney general, the Troy Police Department still doesn’t have body cameras on their officers.

"The good news, things are moving forward. Are they moving fast enough? No," said Carmella Mantello, Troy's city council president.

There’s no video of what led Officer Randall French to shoot and kill Edson Thevenin in 2016. In 2017, police did not have body or dashboard cameras when Dahmeek McDonald was shot in the arm by officers.

Officers in both of those shootings were cleared by grand juries. Mayor Patrick Madden sent a statement to Spectrum News, explaining he is working with the police department and its union to finalize how the body camera program will work.

Police Chief Brian Owens says the program is in the hands of lawyers saying, "Much work has been done coming up with which product would be best, the training needed for officers donning them, etc., but at this time, we're in a holding pattern."

After Sunday’s rally, Mantello says body cameras need to continue to be a priority.

"We need to fast-track that. I said that two years ago," says Mantello. "The funding has been in place, and the time’s now."

A sticking point seems to be how the video footage will be stored. Mantello stresses the police department needs to be part of the solution. She says the council is also working to repair the city’s surveillance cameras, which has been another criticism from the community.

"This is what I feel [is] a work in progress, and we need to continue working with our community and ensuring the trust is there," said Mantello.

The police department says once approved, it needs about two months to get the program running.
