The new camera gear was launched by West Mercia Police this week at a cost of £1 million after PCC John Campion lobbied the government for cash to invest in the technology worn on the vest.
It has been shown to reduce complaints against police officers, prevent crimes and provide clear evidence of incidents when required.
Now West Mercia said it intends to kit out officers in the Telford area next.
Around 46 officers in Malvern, Warwickshire, were given the cameras earlier this week
