Grampian Police officers in Aberdeenshire wearing body cameras
Grampian Police officers in Aberdeenshire are being given access to body-worn video cameras, after they were hailed a success in Aberdeen.
The force said more than 90% of cases pursued in the first year, using evidence from the cameras, resulted in early guilty pleas.
They take digital video, and are lighter than a mobile phone.
Insp John Esson, who is leading the roll-out in Aberdeenshire, said: "The use of these cameras could cut crime."
