KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — The Home Ministry has approved the acquisition of 2,040 high tech body cameras to be worn by policemen in 85 locations in the country.
“A total of 2,040 units of body cameras will be purchased and distributed to 85 locations covering police stations, district police headquarters, contingent police headquarters and Bukit Aman police headquarters,” Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin said in his written answer. He added that the products will have to be of high quality, and there is a requirement for artificial intelligence technology, as well as be capable of “live” video streaming and meet SIRIM standards.
The police force had asked the Home Ministry in May to expedite the tender offer process for the procurement of body cameras for its field officers.
There are 137,000 police personnel in the country. 2,000 body cams, placed on policemen, specifically chosen by the Home ministry isn't going to provide the transparency needed. It raises more questions.
