Pettis County sheriff pushing for dash cameras, transparency after Sedalia woman killed
SEDALIA, Mo. - The new Pettis County sheriff is pushing for dash cameras in all department cars. They got body cameras for the first-time last fall. Now Brad Anders says he hopes the cameras will help with transparency and evidence collection. When Hannah Fizer was killed last June, there was no body or dash camera video.
Police killings have increased though cameras were on officers at the time of killing. I'm sure Pettis County is an Embarrassment for Gov. Parsons consider the Governor was a Sheriff in a nearby county.
