U.S. News & World Report recently reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has rolled out a new program to test the use of body cameras by CBP employees at nine separate locations.

Since that time, however, body camera technology has improved substantially, making body camera units for CBP officers both economically feasible and resistant to the weather extremes present in the field at our many ports and land border crossings.
