A decision has yet to be made on whether a garda has to tell a member of the public when switching a camera on

Indicators on the cameras, which are likely to be worn by members on their chest, facing forward, will show when they are switched on but it has not yet been decided as to whether a member has to inform a member of the public when a garda is switching a camera on, Chief Supt Derek Smart told the briefing.

The encrypted high-resolution footage gathered by the cameras would not be accessible until the cameras are put into a docking system back at a Garda station, from where the footage would be transferred to a central storage facility. Chief Insp Smart said different police forces had different policies in relation to the public release of footage linked to allegations of misconduct or violence against police officers and a policy on this would be developed here.

The request for information is a first step in the public procurement process and includes requests for information about proven business and technical solutions, best practice, and recommendations that will assist the Garda.
