Kudos to the Force for providing this valuable tool, "To improve transparency and accountability."
Considering the rise in officer involved incidents where the investigation proves the Member was correct in their handling of the encounter, these cameras will reduce the number of wrongful claims against Mounties.
To the retired Members who could have used the cameras to avoid criminal harassment, I hope you have some satisfaction in knowing that your current colleagues will not have to endure the agonizing procedures of yore.
It is a big deal! So many incidents are filmed by watchers with phones who then alter the take and post the false results that these officers now have irrefutable proof of the incident. The devices provide considerable protection for officers.
