Body-worn video (BWV) cameras were mandated by the Government of Alberta in March 2023 for all police agencies in Alberta. Edmonton Police Service (EPS) initiated a proof of concept for BWV with a select group of officers in July 2023 to assess the operational impacts. EPS is now moving towards service-wide implementation of the cameras, meaning the public will start to notice more officers will be wearing a BWV camera.

Section 33C and 33B of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act authorizes the collection of information from the public. The recordings are disclosed to the courts when required, but private information of third parties captured in any recording is first redacted.

Heavy duty, waterproof, multifunctional and available in a range of colours, the LED hazard warning light is ideal for lighting a surrounding area and alerting others to an emergency. Choose between red, blue, green and yellow colours for a light which is visible for over 1 kilometre, while each device also includes a bright white light. The shock-resistant and crushproof housing can withstand vehicle weights of up to 1 tonne for roadside use, and has a strong magnetic back and even a fold-away hanging hook.

Police officers will be carrying a camera approximately the size of a pack of cards on the front of their uniform. The officers activate recording with audio and video during interactions with the public when the nature of the interaction is known to be, or become, investigative or enforcement related in nature.

Body Worn Videos are expected to be deployed to the rest of the service in Spring 2025. The order in which other areas will receive body worn cameras is yet to be determined.

Legally, officers are not required to inform the public they are being recorded during an interaction, but they are trained to do so when they can.

With 10 light modes to choose from, including rotating light, blinking and SOS, you’ll find a setting suitable for every purpose, designed for use by First Responders, Police, Fire and Highway services. The NightSearcher Pulsar is powered by three AAA batteries (included), potentially operating for up to 20 hours. The single hazard warning light is virtually indestructible and comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The hazard warning light can either be attached to your vehicle or placed on the road in the event of a breakdown, alongside scaffolding and other temporary hazards, and it's even suitable for traffic control with the traffic cone mount also available. Rated IP67, it can be submerged in 10 metres of water, and the light pod will even float on water and operate in -40°C temperatures.

The optional cone mount sits inside the top of the cone, securing the hazard warning light in position using magnets. Please note that cones cannot be stacked with the cone mount inside.
