Police using body cameras – commanders

While it presents some challenges to operate even after training is conducted, Portable Video Recording (PVR) also called body cameras are being used by ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) and the Region 4B Commander related how the device helped clarify matters in one case where a complaint had been raised.

Several recent police operations have led to serious charges over the conduct of ranks and questions have been raised as to why recourse was not available to the body cameras to establish what had transpired.

Stabroek News recently spoke with a number of senior police officers including divisional commanders who related that all twelve of the policing divisions have body cameras.
