Manitoba RCMP has equipped 98 per cent of its frontline officers with body cameras. This initiative is part of the force’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and accountability.
The introduction of bodycams is intended to improve interactions between officers and the public by providing clear evidence during engagements. The move reflects a broader trend among Canadian police forces adopting similar technology.
"The rollout of bodycams to nearly all frontline officers is a significant step towards increasing public trust," said a spokesperson for Manitoba RCMP.
This technology captures video and audio during police operations, which can be crucial in investigations and court proceedings.
The deployment of body cameras to almost all frontline RCMP officers in Manitoba marks progress in police accountability and public safety.
