The East Cocalico Township Police Department is the latest Lancaster County law enforcement agency to outfit its officers with body cameras.
All 16 members of the department are now using the cameras after a trial and training period, Chief Darrick Keppley said Thursday.
East Cocalico joins Lititz, Manheim Borough, Strasburg, Northern Lancaster County Regional and Lancaster city police in using body cameras. The city was the first law enforcement agency in the county to begin using them, in May 2019.
There are about two dozen police departments in the county, along with the Pennsylvania State Police, which provides coverage to more than 20 of the county s 60 municipalities, mostly in the countyâs southern and eastern part.
