MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Miami Beach police and other city officials will soon wear body cameras to record their activities.
City commissioners voted Wednesday to approve roughly $3 million to purchase cameras over the next five years for police, code and parking enforcement, building inspectors and fire inspectors.
Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales says the measure will bring greater accountability to the community
Miami Beach police will receive the initial 50 to 60 cameras. Parking, code, fire and building departments will each receive five cameras.
The city is planning a three-to-six month evaluation period followed by an 18-to-24 month rollout of additional cameras for city departments.
