First hour: Police body cameras

Second hour: New book details U of R history

In our first hour, we discuss police body cameras. Who's using them? Which departments are considering it? How are they operated, and what is the purpose?

In studio:

Chief Jim VanBrederode, Gates Police Department
Matt Haag, Rochester city councilman

In our second hour: How did George Eastman decide to give so much money to the University of Rochester? How did the U of R make a difference in the outcome of World War II? These are just a couple of the stories I've enjoyed in the new book Our Work is But Begun. Freelance journalist Janice Pieterse tells the story of the founding of the U of R. In studio:
