The Ottawa Police Service is expanding its body-worn camera program, adding roughly 200 cameras for frontline and specialized officers by the end of the year.
The expansion builds on an initial pilot of 30 cameras introduced last November, assigned mostly to members of the service’s Crisis Intervention Team.

And I’ll tell you the same thing I told someone else.
