It s official. All police in Delaware will now have to wear body cameras.
Gov. John Carney on Wednesday signed the bill lawmakers passed in late June, largely thanks to police support.
The new law requires all officers to wear the cameras, along with a few related employees, such as Department of Correction probation officers and special investigators in the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families.
Just before signing the bill in the conference room of the Delaware State Police Troop 2 building on Pulaski Highway in Glasgow, Carney promised the law would improve trust between law enforcement and their communities, particularly communities of color.
