Following a CBS News investigation into police departments selling or trading in service weapons that were later used in crimes, the department profiled is changing its policy.

Candace Leslie says she'll never get over her son Cameron Brown's shooting death. But Leslie says the fact Cameron's story got out and prompted change within her city's police department means his death at least made a difference. In fact, in response to a CBS News investigation, Indianapolis Police Chief Christopher Bailey issued an administrative order directing his staff to stop selling any department-issued guns.

Cameron's grandmother, Maria, says the story of his death and that used police service weapon is prompting change. 'The exposure that CBS News provided, your work is so important,' Maria Leslie said. 'His picture and his story is being heard all over the country. And our law enforcement agencies are reconsidering how they are disposing of their weapons. And that means a lot.
