BOSTON (AP) — Boston plans to begin phasing in body cameras for its police department after a report found the devices led to slightly fewer complaints against officers and reports of officer use of force, city leaders said Thursday.

Northeastern University researchers, who examined a yearlong test of the cameras, determined they provided "small but meaningful benefits" in encounters between police and community members. As a result, Democratic Mayor Marty Walsh said the city is in talks with the police unions about expanding the devices across the force.
