Lancashire Constabulary has rolled out its use of body worn video technology across the whole force in a bid to capture the best possible evidence and promote public reassur­ ance across the county. The force has already pi­


loted the scheme using cam­ eras for a small number of operations, but the cameras


are now being utilised across the whole force.


A total of 150 cameras have


been distributed to immedi­ ate response teams who will use the equipment to capture evidence of criminal behav­ iour.


Insp. Mark Baines, of Lan­


cashire Police, said: “Police forces across the country


have already embraced body worn cameras and have iden­


tified the potential benefits of their use.


“Here in Lancashire I


hope that the wider use of the cameras will promote public reassurance, capture best evidence, prevent harm and deter people from com­ mitting crime and anti-social


behaviour. “Whilst offering reassur­


ance to members of the pub­ lic, safeguarding witnesses and victims, the cameras should also increase officers’ safety. The cameras can be used to capture evidence of criminal behaviour that can help to ‘set the scene’ for a court at a later date.”
