The Fredericton Police Force has expanded its body-worn camera program to 12 cameras.
"Every other week I hear of a new way of, not using it, but an advantage of the camera or how they captured evidence at a call that was so significant," said Martin Gaudet, deputy police chief.
Gaudet gave an update on the force's body camera program at Monday night's city council meeting.
The seven new cameras, which include live streaming in the field, are part of a renewed contract with Axon. They will cost the force $201,179 over the next five years.The contract also includes digital evidence storage.
