All Wheeling police officers should be equipped with body cameras by the end of February, Police Chief Jamie Dunne announced during Monday s village board meeting.
The village board agreed to purchase 55 body cameras as well as new cameras for squad cars in December. The gear was expected to cost $238,495.
The body cameras arrived about two weeks ago, Dunne said. Officials are setting up the software for the devices and getting bases to hold the cameras in place on uniforms.
