Delhi Police will use 1,500 bodycams for transparency

Delhi Police will equip its officers with 1,500 body-worn cameras to enhance accountability and transparency, aiming to build public trust. The cameras will record interactions, incidents, and decisions made by officers, providing an unbiased account of events and aiding in resolving disputes. This initiative follows unsuccessful pilot projects and aims to modernize policing, particularly for traffic and investigating officers. The move is expected to deter misconduct, provide evidence, and serve as a training tool, while also simplifying procedures under new criminal justice laws. The cameras will be used to document traffic violations and other incidents.
