Hallandale Beach Police Department has become the first in Broward County to wear body cameras, as officers received equipment yesterday.
Hallandale Beach will equip 28 out of 100 officers with body cameras in the pilot program’s first year. Former Lauderhill Police Chief Andrew Smalling says body cameras have become crucial policing tools, providing the officer’s perspective during encounters.
The use of body cameras is part of new reforms sweeping through the department.
