Body-worn cameras to be compulsory for bailiffs - The Ministry of Justice have announced that body-worn cameras are to be compulsory for bailiffs. The move which will affect England and Wales only, is part of an overall plan to reform the industry; High Court enforcement officers will also be required to wear cameras.
"Whilst most bailiffs act above board, body-worn cameras will provide greater security for all involved”
The exact date of when this will be enforced had not been given, but it is estimated that around 2,500 certificated enforcement agents or bailiffs will be required to wear a body-worn camera.
Available from Airsys are two body-worn cameras recently released by Motorola Solutions. Both are ideal in any situation and provide the coverage when needed most.
