Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress has been made on the rollout of body-worn cameras to police officers for the collection of evidence.
The decision to procure and deploy body worn video (BWV) cameras is an operational one for chief officers. The Home Office is aware that most forces in England and Wales use BWV to some extent. Each force will have its own implementation plan and schedule for the rollout of cameras. This information is not held centrally.
