A "Body Cam" is a small camera worn by law enforcement officers, typically attached to their uniforms. It records video and audio of interactions with the public, providing a visual account of events as they unfold. This technology aims to enhance transparency and accountability in policing. Body cams can be used as evidence in investigations and court cases, helping to clarify incidents involving officers. They also serve to protect both the public and the officers by documenting encounters, which can reduce misunderstandings and complaints. Many police departments have adopted body cam programs to improve community relations and trust.
