    Police in the Cook County Forest Preserves will be equipped with tasers and body cameras under a measure (19-0491) approved by the preserves’ Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.

    The board — whose members are the same as the Cook County Board of Commissioners — voted 13-2 to approve a five-year, $1.28 million contract with Axon Enterprises, the same company that provides the Chicago Police Department with its body cameras.
