VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Police in Virginia's most populous city are set to get body-worn cameras over the next two years.

The Virginian-Pilot reports the Virginia Beach Police Department will be the last department in the Hampton Roads area to adopt the technology. The department announced Friday that officers began wearing cameras this month. Capt. Todd Jones says camera distribution will be done in four phases with about 110 officers getting cameras in each phase.
