Monongahela’s police chief announced that officers may start to wear body cameras by the end of the month.
The new technology will affect multiple municipalities, as the Monongahela Police Department services Monongahela, New Eagle and Union Township.
Chief Kevin Harris addressed New Eagle council during a public meeting Tuesday, saying the department will begin installing cameras on uniforms this week.
“Starting (Wednesday), we’re going to have our body cam install started,” he said. “They’re going to be in the streets by the end of the month I hope.”
Harris added he plans to give public demonstrations of the cameras in coming weeks.
