Police in Louisville are planning to start a pilot project next year in which some officers would wear body cameras.
Major Robert Schroeder, who heads the department's Administrative Services Division, told The Courier-Journal that the agency tested various cameras in 2013, but the project was delayed by unexpected costs.
Police Chief Steve Conrad says the hope is to have a pilot program involving one division running by June, and implement it agency-wide the following summer.
The push for body cams on officers has been heightened in the wake of a police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, that ended with the death of a teen. The decision by a grand jury to not indict the officer sparked protests and a call for body cameras, which some say could help show what happened.
