Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) introduced Wednesday body worn camera to ensure transparency and accountability of police sergeants in discharging their professional duties, reports BSS.
"We introduced the body worn camera today. The service has started with 15 cameras while 400 more cameras will be added in the days to come," said outgoing DMP Commissioner Benazir Ahmed after inaugurating the camera at Shahbagh.
"It is a 16 megapixel high resolution camera that could record the audio and video for eight hours and it could be monitored from the command centre. It can be worn on head or body," he said.
"Introduction of the camera could ensure transparency and accountability of police sergeants as it could take snap of all the activities and record conversation of police sergeants. The records could not be erased by the sergeants at their will," he added.
