The purpose of a body-worn video camera is to capture some interactions taking place between police officers and members of the public. They are not intended to be used to capture every single aspect of an officer’s activities during their day.

At that time, the pilot project indicated there were several concerns with the technology and data management. Since then, the technology has improved, and it is now better suited to operational and investigative needs.

As the cameras are deployed to areas of the Service, the officers will undergo pre-course online and in-person training covering organizational policy and procedures, technical training about how to operate the cameras and how to manage the BWV recordings in the digital evidence management software.

What is the purpose of body-worncameras

Officers who have been issued body-worn video cameras will have the device in plain view.  The camera also has a light which indicates recording has been activated. Although not legally required, officers are trained to give verbal notice as soon as reasonably possible that a body-worn video camera is in operation. The timing of this notice may vary depending on the context of the encounter.

Rules surrounding the access of body-worn camera footage have been defined, all of which is auditable. Access will be based on the applicable legislative rules.

Body Worn Video cameras are expected to be deployed to the rest of the service in Spring 2025. The order in which other areas will receive body worn video cameras is yet to be determined. Remaining public-facing areas will receive cameras based on resources and implementation timeline.

At the end of every shift, the members dock their cameras and footage will be automatically uploaded.  A retention schedule that applies to police records will be applied to the storage of this data, depending on the nature of the interactions (ex. if footage is captured during a criminal investigation versus a bylaw investigation).

In 2022, the Edmonton Police Service piloted in car video to evaluate and decide on the best platform and technology for EPS. This was put on hold as our resources pivoted to body worn cameras. Currently, the EPS is not pursuing the use of in-car video.
