RCMP Body Camera Rollout Expands Across Provinces
The RCMP is rolling out body cameras for its officers across various provinces in Canada, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability. In British Columbia, 3,000 officers will be equipped by 2026, with the first batch being deployed in Mission. A similar phased approach is being followed in Nova Scotia, where 600 officers are expected to have the cameras by spring, and in Manitoba, 490 officers across 44 detachments will be equipped by April 2025. The cameras, which record interactions with the public, are part of a national initiative funded with nearly $240 million over six years. The RCMP emphasizes that these devices will not be used for continuous surveillance but rather activated during specific duties, with the footage securely managed in a digital evidence system. This move responds to community demands for more accountability and transparency in policing.
