Summary

"This document is intended to provide guidance and offer recommendations in regards to implementing a Body Worn Video (BWV) program in a large organisation. The following document has been based on the experiences of the most successful Police BWV implementation programs in the UK. Whereas no two organisations are the same, the general principles and recommendations made in this document have been designed to be applicable in as many situations as possible. Much of the content provided has been gathered from discussions with individuals who have been closely involved with successful programs and the BWVSG is grateful for the time and insight that these individuals have contributed."--Cover.
