Police complete nationwide body-worn camera distribution
BESUT: The distribution of 7,648 units of body-worn cameras (BWCs) to all state police headquarters nationwide has been completed. Federal Logistics Department director Datuk Sahabudin Abd Manan said 288 units were handed over to the Terengganu police headquarters. He said the cameras safeguard the credibility of both the police and the public and can serve as evidence in the event of disputes. "If the BWC is not switched on or not worn during duty, disciplinary action can be taken against the officer concerned. "The recordings can also be used as valid evidence in trials and court proceedings," he said after the opening of the district police headquarters here today. Present was state police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairudin. Sahabudin said priority for the use of BWCs would be given to the Mobile Patrol Vehicle Unit, the Motorcycle Patrol Unit and the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department. He said the police would also apply for an additional 10,000 BWCs under the Second Rolling Plan of the 13th Malaysia Plan next year to meet actual needs. In a separate development, Sahabudin said an allocation of RM11.42 billion had been approved for the police, covering existing policies, specific and development programmes, reflecting an increase of RM523.87 million, or 4.81 per cent, compared with the previous year. "An amount of RM9.69 billion has been allocated for operating expenditure and RM1.73 billion for development expenditure. "The police has received approval for 68 projects, consisting of 18 physical projects amounting to RM2.3 billion and 50 non-physical projects amounting to RM756.1 million, under the 12th Malaysia Plan this year."
