CPD expands body camera program to three more districts
The Chicago Police Department is expanding its body camera program to officers in the Grand Central, Grand Crossing, and Chicago Lawn districts, the mayor’s office announced Monday morning. By the end of 2017, every police officer on the streets will have a body camera, according to DNAinfo Chicago. “Body cameras offer a firsthand look into the dangers face officers every day and will allow us to see what we’re doing right and where we can improve our training and tactics,” Chicago Police Department superintendent Eddie Johnson said. “We will continue to make investments that make our officers safer and build community trust.” [DNAinfo Chicago]
