Hundreds of police officers in Staffordshire will take to the streets wearing body cameras to deter attacks on them.

The county's Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis has approved the move, costing £204,000, for 316 frontline officers.
He says collecting evidence in this way will have three-fold benefits.
Mr Ellis claims body cameras will reduce attacks on officers, take photos to help in criminal cases, and speed up the force's complaints process as there will now be accurate images of officers' actions to address allegations.
