The Philippine National Police (PNP) will start using body-worn cameras during operations next month, Malacañang said Thursday.
The PNP’s use of body cams will improve transparency and accountability transparency in police operations, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
“Naririyan na po ang mga body cams, nagtiti-training na po tayo at inaasahan po natin magagamit na po ang mga body cams na yan sa buwan ng Abril ng maiwasan na po ang pagduda ng taumbayan kung ano talaga ang mga pangyayari kung meron pong napatay,” Roque said in a televised briefing.
“Yang body cam po ay physical evidence at hindi magsisinungaling ang physical evidence,” he added.
Last year, the PNP said more than 2,600 body cams have been procured with a budget of P287 million. They will be issued to police units in their anti-illegal drug activities.
