Gov. Phil Murphy Signs Law Requiring All Police Officers To Wear Body Cameras In New Jersey
TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law Tuesday requiring all police officers to wear body cameras in New Jersey.
About 12,000 officers in the state wear them now, but that's just a third of the state's police force.
The governor's office says equipping the remaining 23,000 officers with body cameras will cost an estimated $56 million.
Lawmakers have introduced a separate funding bill, which is pending in the state Legislature.
