Body-Worn Cameras

The Red Deer RCMP and Municipal Policing Services are committed to strengthening trust with the community we serve. To enhance transparency, accountability, and public safety, we have introduced Body-Worn Cameras (BWCs) for general duty and crime reduction team members. This is an important step to modernizing law enforcement practices in our community.

How Body-Worn Cameras (BWCs) Benefit Communities

  • Strengthening Transparency, Accountability, and Public Trust
    • BWCs provide a clear and unbiased record of police interactions, ensuring greater transparency and reinforcing our commitment to responsible policing.
  • Increasing Community Trust
    • By reducing complaints and resolving disputes faster and more effectively, BWCs help foster stronger relationships between the RCMP and the public.
  • Improving Public Interactions
    • The presence of body-worn cameras encourages positive, professional engagements between officers and citizens, often helping to de-escalate situations.
  • Enhancing Evidence Gathering
    • BWCs capture real-time events, providing valuable evidence that supports investigations and strengthens the judicial process.
