Every Chicago police patrol officer now has a body camera
The Chicago Police Department has now equipped all of its more than 7,000 parole officers with a body camera. “In addition to protecting the rights of the people that we serve, these devices help us take a look at what we’re doing right and where we can improve,” CPD superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. It’s the largest deployment of body cameras in the nation, the Sun-Times reports. [Sun-Times]
