How the cameras are used
Body Worn Cameras are used by a wide range of organisations such as police, prisons, customs & immigration, private security, local authorities and enforcement officers etc to name a few.
Body Worn Cameras help to reduce crime and the fear of crime by:
- Acting as a robust deterrent.
- Detecting crime.
- Prosecuting more people efficiently: the footage is used as evidence in court.
- Helping the user to identify suspects: video footage can be used in media appeals.
- Resulting in users spending less time in court and on paperwork, and more time out on duty.
- Aiding community / stakeholder engagement.
- Recording abusive / violent behaviour.
- Reducing the number of complaints.
- Capturing quality evidence on the go.
Body Worn Video footage has been used to provide stronger evidence in court which, in turn, increases guilty pleas and helps secure stronger sentences.
In 2009, Renfrewshire became the first place in Scotland where both police and wardens to wear body-mounted CCTV cameras. In the first eight months of their use the body cameras secured more than 500 evidence files including incidents involving breach of the peace, drugs and offensive weapons, vandalism, graffiti, littering, dog fouling and licensing and road traffic offences.

The main benefits of body worn video technology are;
Enhanced Staff Safety
· Reduced staff safety incidents (members of the public far less likely to behave in an abusive / aggressive manner if they know they are being recorded)
· Reduced physical harm / mental stress as a result of being involved in an incident
Time / Cost Savings (own agency and others)
· Reduced staff time preparing files / appearing in Court due to increase in guilty pleas (the unit records exactly what took place which provides compelling evidence as to people’s behaviour / actions)
· Reduced cost to overall Justice system as a result of above
· Reduced time spent investigating complaints against staff (rather than having to interview / take statements from complainants, staff, witnesses etc from the outset, the video footage of the incident can be reviewed at the start of the investigation which may enable the complaint to be dealt with immediately)
Reduced Crime
· Numerous independent reviews into the use of body worn video have demonstrated significant reductions in crime / anti-social behavior.
· These reductions not only make communities safer, they also result in cost savings across a range of agencies (Police, Council, Justice, Health etc)
Reduced Complaints
· Members of the public are far less likely to make vexatious / untruthful complaints against staff if they know the interaction between them and the staff member is being recorded
Enhanced Staff Professionalism
· Staff aware their actions / language are also being recorded
Reduced Liability
· Assists in demonstrating your agencies commitment to taking all practical steps to provide a safe working environment.
