Share

Police Commissioner Dr. Kevin Blake has stated that the investment in body worn cameras is a substantive move towards building a stronger, more transparent relationship with the public.
There have been calls especially from the Independent Commission of Investigations (Indecom) for cops on operations to use body worn cameras.
Commenting on the issue in the latest force orders, it was noted that the introduction and strategic implementation of body worn cameras signal a commitment to accountability as well as the values of transparency and fairness.
The commissioner said over $2 billion has been spent to enhance the infrastructure necessary to support the cameras’ data, over the last 3 years.
