SRT Body-Worn Camera – SRT BWC Welcome to the Small, Rural, and Tribal Body-Worn Camera Website. Welcome to the world of body-worn cameras (BWC) for Small, Rural, and Tribal (SRT) law enforcement agencies. We hope that this site provides you with timely, relevant, and useful information about body-worn cameras (BWCs).
The SRT micro-grant program is funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and operated by Justice & Security Strategies, Inc. (JSS). The purpose of this initiative is to provide funds and technical support to small, rural, and tribal agencies to implement body-worn cameras.

The grantees include 112 small towns, 40 county sheriff’s and county policy agencies, 12 federally-recognized tribal law enforcement agencies, and six university/ technical school law enforcement agencies across 46 states.
The awards are in addition to the over $17. 56 million that was awarded in 2021, 2022 and 2023 to support body-worn camera programs in small, rural and tribal law enforcement agencies. Click here to see the list of awards.

The Justice Department's timeline put September 2026 as the month it starts executing the Bureau of Justice Grants consolidation, folding OJP, COPS, and OVW into one component under a Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General.
