Governor Shapiro Signs Bill Allowing Body Cameras for County Probation Officers in Pennsylvania

Governor Shapiro Signs Bill Allowing Body Cameras for County Probation Officers in Pennsylvania

Governor Josh Shapiro has signed Act 81 of 2026 into law, which amends Pennsylvania's Wiretap Act to permit county probation officers to wear body cameras while on duty. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Ryan Bizzarro (D-Erie), received bipartisan support in both the state House and Senate. A ceremonial bill signing was held in Harrisburg to mark the new law. This change was championed by Bizzarro and advocates in Erie following the fatal shooting of Marchello Woodard by a state parole officer who was not wearing a body camera during a compliance check. While state parole officers were already permitted to wear body cameras, this new law extends the provision to county probation officers, aiming to enhance safety, accountability, and transparency for both the community and law enforcement.
