FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — For the first time, all Fulton County Schools police officers will be outfitted with body cameras to start the new school year Monday. Officers finished their training last week.
These camera systems are now part of all officers' standard uniforms.
Channel 2's Audrey Washington was in Fulton County last week as officers finished their training on the devices. Officers learned everything from when to turn on the cameras to how to download video.
Starting Monday, all 70 officers will be wearing the devices.
