BOSTON (WHDH) — Lawmakers on the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security held a hearing Tuesday to discuss how and if police departments in Massachusetts should be using body cameras.
The committee discussed several bills about police issues, including body cameras and police-involved deaths.
“Widespread use of body cameras will be a good thing but I can’t pretend that it is not a tricky and complicated set of decisions around using them,” said Rep. Denise Provost (D-Middlesex).
Boston Police recently finished a pilot program, where 100 officers wore body cameras for a year.
