London boroughs fund police body cameras

October 21, 2008 - Staff

Five London councils have agreed to fund police body cameras in an effort to crack down on night time anti-social behaviour.

The cameras, which can be clipped to the officer’s ear, include a hard drive which records audio and video evidence helping to successfully prosecute wrongdoers.

Havering Council has contributed £16,000 to the scheme to fund six cameras in the borough. Cllr Peter Gardner, Cabinet Member for Community Safety, said the cameras would “opefully make Havering even safer for people who want to enjoy a night out.”
