WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office says they're working to implement a body-worn camera program for members of their patrol division.

The sheriff's office says when Sheriff Eric Severson first took office in 2015, the implementation of body-worn cameras presented "significant financial challenges." 

Since then, officials say the sheriff's office has worked to find a funding solution that would not require cuts to staff.

“This initiative reflects the agency’s continued commitment to enhancing transparency, strengthening accountability, and building public trust. Body-worn camera technology will also serve as a valuable tool for documenting law enforcement interactions and providing critical evidence during investigations and court proceedings,” Captain Nicholas Ollinger said.

The sheriff's office says Cpt. Ollinger will work with County Executive Paul Farrow to develop the program.
