Body-worn cameras will now be a part of more El Paso Police Department officers’ uniforms.
This comes after the City Council unanimously approved $6.6 million to purchase 792 body cams and 410 mobile video recorders last March.
“I felt like it was essential El Paso police dept to be fitted with body cameras," said Henry Rivera, City Council member. “I didn’t want our community to lose trust in our officers.”
