Sinking Spring police budgeting for body cameras

Sinking Spring police are planning to add body cameras to their arsenal.

Chief Lee Schweyer said he is planning to buy three body cameras next year.

There have been increasing calls for police to use such cameras following deadly confrontations in Missouri and New York City.

Sinking Spring's police chief said the cameras pick up more than the cameras in police cars.

"If you make the notification, you can use the audio and you can't beat that," Schweyer said. "Audio doesn't lie. Video doesn't lie."

The chief said he isn't aware of any other police departments in Berks County that plan to add the cameras.
