The state of Delaware is launching a 30-45 day pilot program that puts body cameras on state and municipal police officers.
Governor Jack Markell said he was convinced that this would help protect citizens and officers alike.
The move comes after a major push by the NAACP in Delaware for the devices following the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri at the hands of a police officer.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Richard Smith, president of the Delaware NAACP, said he was pleased with the new program but says more needs to be done.
The paper notes it is also not clear which officers will be involved.
