The decision to procure and deploy BWV cameras is a matter for Police and Crime Commissioners and 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, but this information is not held centrally.
