CHICAGO — Chicago Police will start using 2,000 body cameras across seven police districts this summer, according to reports.
Police have been using 30 body cameras in one district, and the results have shown "that cameras help to restore the community's trust," said Supt. Eddie Johnson, according to NBC5.
“It assures police respond appropriately, professionally and respectfully, and it also changes behavior of citizens we encounter,” Johnson told NBC5. “So far interaction with community has gone quite well."
The cameras will be spread throughout these police districts, according to NBC5:
• Austin District
• Deering District
• Gresham District
• Ogden District
• Shakespeare District
• South Chicago District
• Wentworth District
