The sheriff's office will receive approximately $87,656.28 for these updates. The second grant will fund behavioral services in the jail for the next two years, according to Duchak. The Ohio Attorney General's Office will award the sheriff's office approximately $214,500 each year. This funding will pay the salaries of behavioral professionals and supplies. The Miami County Sheriff's Office is partnering with the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services to contract behavioral health professionals. Duchak said his office plans to onboard substance abuse disorder counselors and an addiction services coordinator, as the past several years have seen a 'dramatic' uptick in mental health and substance abuse disorders among the inmates. This specific grant was funded by money secured from the state opioid settlement. Duchak said the county will incur no cost for these services. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]

(Courtesy: Brantford Police Service) If you're stopped by the Brantford Police Service, you might end up on camera. Some officers will start wearing body-worn cameras this week and the service plans to have all officers outfitted by the end of this year. The cameras will be used whenever an officer interacts with the public, including traffic stops, calls for service and other enforcement activities. Civilians will notice the cameras positioned on the officers' uniforms and there will be a display light to indicate when a recording is in progress. The new equipment is being brought in thanks to a provincial grant.
