Washtenaw County Sheriff's deputies will be issued body-worn cameras in the near future.

Sheriff Jerry Clayton announced Friday that the office will be acquiring and implementing the cameras, which will be used in conjunction with existing in-car video systems.

Accord to a release, the sheriff's office has been monitoring the development of body-worn cameras as well as independent research and policy analysis regarding the technology.

Clayton said the exploration process has been going on for more than a year, but was sped up about one month ago when the company that supplies the county with its in-car cameras announced the rollout of a new body-worn system.
