Last Monday, police announced officers from the Chicago Lawn, Park Manor and Grand Central police districts were getting body cameras. The body camera launched as a pilot in January 2015 in the Northwest Side's Shakespeare Police District and has since been expanded to the Austin, Wentworth, Deering, Ogden, South Chicago and Gresham districts.
