Body cameras a possibility for local police departments

More police departments could be purchasing body cameras after law enforcement agencies around the nation were awarded a recent U.S. Justice Department grant.

The Akron Police Department is one of two law enforcement agencies in Ohio who received the grant. They now join other northeastern Ohio departments who have body cameras, including Cleveland, Aurora and Twinsburg.
