London: London police say thousands of officers will be equipped with body-worn video cameras in the coming months.
Police said the rollout begins Monday in a phased approach. More than 22,000 offers are scheduled to have cameras mid-2017.
Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said the widespread use of cameras should help build public confidence in the police.
He said: -"What we do every day will be seen by the public. That has to be good.-"
The cameras will be placed on the officers' uniforms and will be recording only after they are turned on by the officer. The cameras beep frequently and are illuminated by a flashing red circle when recording.
