The police force in New Brunswick's capital aims to equip all its front-line officers with body cameras next year in an effort to increase transparency and public trust.

Officers in the Fredericton police's Traffic Safety Section and the Primary Response Team will be wearing the cameras to capture video during their shifts.

Members of the Fredericton Police Force will be wearing body-mounted cameras as part of a pilot project. The cameras are gaining popularity as a policing tool- providing more transparency and accountability to the public.
