The Police Complaints Authority (PCA) is urging the Government to refocus its efforts on sourcing body-worn cameras (BWCs) for police officers, in a bid to ensure a higher standard of accountability and transparency in daily policing activities.
On Friday, Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander announced that a $24.9 million contract for 3,000 body cameras had been terminated.
Speaking during a sitting of the Senate, Alexander explained that the contract was terminated “in a bid to save millions of dollars.” He noted that while the contact was terminated, the acquisition of body cameras was still a priority, referring to them as part of the tools for police officers.
