Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress the Metropolitan Police Service has made on piloting and evaluating the use by police officers of body-worn cameras; and if she will make a statement.
The Metropolitan Police Service, working with the College of Policing and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime conducted a trial last year.
The published study ‘Police Camera Evidence: London’s cluster randomised control trials of 'Body Worn Video’ can be found on the College of Policing’s website at: http://www.college.police.uk/News/College-news/Documents/BWV%20report%20Nov%202015.pdf
