Police in Malaysia are finally equipping themselves with more than 7,000 body-worn cameras (BWCs) after years of planning. The implementation of the BWCs will be done nationwide in stages, with frontline personnel – the patrol and traffic units – getting priority. The distribution of the cameras will prioritize officers and personnel with the Mobile Patrol Vehicle (MPV) and the Motorcycle Patrol Units (URB) as well as those with the department who are conducting crime prevention patrols.
They will also be distributed to Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department officers conducting traffic enforcement duties. A successful pilot run was conducted from June 9 to July 14 at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor police contingents. The cameras were able to capture all the action of police officers along with their location when they interacted with the public. Comm Wan Hassan said that the use of BWCs can elevate the image of the police force and increase people’s confidence in the police. It also improves transparency
