The South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is now equipped with body-worn cameras (BWC).
The OPP is committed to adopting tools and technologies that improve the quality of evidence, enhance accountability and transparency, and ultimately support the safety of both the public and officers in the communities we serve.
After a successful roll out of in-car cameras (ICC), which incorporated an Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system, the South Bruce OPP, along with other detachments within West Region, are rolling out BWC’s for each individual officer.
The BWCs are worn on the front of the officers’ vests and are clearly visible to anyone an officer may be interacting with. The BWC will display a visible green ring with flashing lights when in standby mode, which will turn flashing red once the BWC’s begin recording.
The full deployment of the BWC’s in South Bruce is expected to be complete as soon as practicable, though officers who have finished training will begin using them immediately.
The South Bruce OPP remains dedicated to ensuring public safety and providing proactive, innovative policing in partnership with our communities. We value your role in helping build safer communities for everyone.
