The Body-worn Boom: capturing everything, now what?
BWV has been one of policing’s silent success stories – but with success comes scale. This session introduces the series, details the rise of BWV in the UK and explores the challenge of managing and making sense of the mountain of footage generated each day.
————————————————————————————————————————————–
Body-worn video has transformed modern policing – once a niche capability, and a ‘nice to have’, it is now an essential part of everyday policing, capturing millions of hours of footage, supporting officer safety, building public trust and strengthening accountability.
But with success, comes complexity.
Forces are now grappling with the scale and cost of footage, the evolving ethical frameworks around its use, and the expectations of a public workforce increasingly aware of its power. At the same time, innovation continues, with live streaming, Al, and future capabilities, bringing new opportunities and challenges in equal measure.
Through the Lens: The Body-Worn Video Briefings is a webinar series designed to provide the UK and wider global policing community together to discuss these pressing issues, exploring the landscape of body-worn video – from operational pressures and frontline impact, to innovation and the future of connected policing.
This series of four webinars has been designed to not only engage with those who develop, deliver and oversee the use of body-worn video, but those on the frontline.That is those that will be using the technology daily and need to be aware of the full benefits and challenges that the systems can bring.
To maximise access, the sessions will be FREE to all members of recognised law enforcement agencies and the wider criminal justice sector in the UK and abroad.
Appropriate private sector organisations will be able to gain access for a small fee.
