While many hold out hope that BWCs will bring greater accountability and transparency of police actions, the technology also has the potential to cut into citizens' privacy.

What are officer body-worn cameras? Officer body-worn cameras (BWCs) are relatively small devices that record interactions between community members (e.g., the public, suspects, and victims) and law enforcement officers.

According to Warren, a body-worn camera can work as a kind of peace-keeping device and de-escalation tool all on its own, deterring a potential troublemaker from persisting in any disruptive actions. This keeps both your security officers and the people and spaces they were assigned to protect safe.
