Syracuse, N.Y. — The New York State Police this month started to equip troopers with body cameras.
Sheriff’s deputies in Erie, Monroe and Albany counties — three of the biggest Upstate counties — wear body cameras. One department has had them for six years.
In Onondaga County, at least 10 of the county’s 15 police departments — including the Syracuse Police Department — use the cameras.
