Welshpool’s uniformed officers are all now wearing body cameras, it has been revealed.

The local force announced through Twitter that following a force wide initiative, all officers on the beat in the area will be running video and picking up audio from a small camera attached to their uniforms.

On their official Welshpool neighbourhood police team account, they tweeted: “Helping in the fight against ‪#crime, ‪#Welshpool PC's and PCSO's are now equipped with ‪#BodyWornVideo #IndependentWitness ‪#MovingForward.”

Recently the town council announced that its street cleaning team was to start wearing bodycams in the fight to stop anti-social behaviour, including fly tipping.
