Starting in June, the Coaldale & Picture Butte RCMP will equip all frontline officers with body-worn cameras. The Mounties say it’s part of their ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and modernization. Sgt. Mike Numan, Coaldale – Picture Butte RCMP Detachment, says bodycams are increasingly used by police agencies worldwide for their ability to provide accurate, unbiased audio-video documentation of police interactions. Key benefits include enhanced accountability and public trust, improved police-community interactions, better evidence collection, and efficient complaint resolution.
Numan says RCMP is deploying 10,000 to 15,000 cameras across the country.
