(St. Paul, MN) -- All Minnesota State Troopers are now wearing body cameras.

The State Patrol is one of a growing number of law enforcement agencies to have adopted the body camera technology. Head of the State Patrol Colonel Matt Danger says the technology creates a record of a police encounter and helps keep everyone accountable.

The State Patrol began rolling out the cameras with a group of 40 troopers in December.
