19 Action News has learned the city of Cleveland will spend nearly $2.5 million to buy body cameras for police
For months, the city has been debating whether it should get cameras for all patrol cars or get the body cameras for officers to wear.
“I want the public to see what we deal with everyday, so the suspects doesn’t all of a sudden become the good guys,” said Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Union.
Cleveland Police have been under pressure to get police cameras since last November’s deadly police chase. Police shot and killed two unarmed suspects with 137 shots. The two eluded police and drove at officers while trying to escape. Not every patrol car had cameras installed to capture the chase.
