Lord Condon – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Condon on 2016-10-19.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to encourage the provision and wearing of body cameras by operational police officers to improve police and public confidence in cases of disputed incidents.
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The Home Office fully supports the police exploiting technology to help cut crime wherever possible. Body worn video can be a powerful tool to help the police be more effective, efficient and accountable. The decision to procure and deploy it is an operational one for chief officers.
