The cameras, as announced in March, were supposed to be deployed starting Sunday. But Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday that instead, the cameras provided by Taser International will arrive this week, with the first 60 officers to be trained on May 23.
When they are deployed, Rawlings-Blake said, the plan is still to deploy them to all nine districts and all officers at the same time. Originally, the plan was to deploy the body cameras in five installments of 500 each, ending in January 2018.
Rawlings-Blake offered no apology or explanation on the reason for the delay.

To be trained ? Dah! Turn it on , then when not in use , turn it off . I have one , you just can't fix stupid. Never ceases to amaze me.
Protecting both the public and the police and hopefully easing tensions between the two isn't the same as having your bathroom remodeled. What an out of touch statement.
The new axon cameras do have a couple of new features older ones didn't have. Plus we have to down load and categorize our videos. That being said training should be no more than two hours at the most.
