Stamford police are moving forward in the process of outfitting all of their officers with body cameras.
Stamford police officials say officers tested three models over the past few months before choosing the "Axon Body Two" brand.
They say that cameras will increase accountability, transparency and trust between officers and the public.
The department applied for the cameras in 2015 and received funding to purchase them via a grant from the Department of Justice.
