TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa’s mayor is coming through with one of her biggest campaign promises.
Mayor Jane Castor said Friday the Tampa Police Department will get up to 650 Bluetooth body cameras.
When a police officer pulls out a taser, gun or any other device, cameras, which are linked to Bluetooth, will start to record.
Castor said the new body cameras will take time to implement.
Castor served as Tampa Police chief for six years.
