Comox Valley RCMP officers will soon have a new tool at their disposal.
Body-worn cameras are being phased in across the detachment to aid investigations and complaint-resolution.
Const. Monika Terragni of the Comox Valley RCMP said the move marks a key step for transparency and community trust.
“We believe these cameras will strengthen accountability and help resolve many concerns in a more timely manner.”
The camera will be attached to an officer’s vest and record audio and video during calls for service such as mental-health calls, public-safety incidents, crimes in progress and investigations.
The local rollout follows a national deployment that began in November last year.
