Officers are required to wear body worn cameras, and failure to do so is addressed as a training issue.

  • Council Member Sandy Nurse highlights a report showing fewer than half of incidents were recorded due to officers not wearing cameras.
  • Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie confirms officers must wear body cameras during shifts.
  • The lack of compliance is being looked into as a training issue with ADC Johnson's team.
  • When inquired about actions against non-compliant officers, the Commissioner was unable to provide details but promised to follow up.

Okay.

And what actions were taken in response to officers who were found not to be wearing that during some of these instances?
