Body worn video
Body worn video (BWV) cameras are the small devices our officers wear, usually on their chest, to capture both audio and visual evidence when they attend all types of incidents or are executing any police powers. Police staff in custody suites also wear the cameras and switch them on when interacting with persons in custody.
