Check out episode 3 of the Progressive Democrats of Howard County podcast, where co-hosts Hiruy Hadgu and Jake Burdett interview Ted Stewart from the Police Accountability Task Force (PATF) of Howard County about the PATF's current campaign to get police body cameras in Howard County. Jake, Hiruy, and Ted discuss the evolution of the PATF, the importance of police body cameras and the history of them in Howard County, and County Executive Calvin Ball's recent move to inexplicably delay the implementation of the funding for the program. Jake, Hiruy, and Ted also discuss future ways they plan to exert pressure on County Executive Ball and the Howard County Council to immediately and fully fund the police body camera program in Howard County, and to reverse County Executive Ball's previous delay. Be on the lookout for a call to action from the PATF on August 19 & 20, and in the meantime, you can find out more about them and get involved at their website https://www.patf-hoco.com/.
