What Has Changed

"We hope that the purchase of body-cams will provide an additional measure to prevent verbal and physical attacks against our employees. Experience has shown that the introduction of body-cams will have a de-escalating effect and thus increase the safety of our emergency services personnel. At the same time, this will enable additional evidence to be secured in administrative offence or criminal proceedings as required." : Steffen Franzkowski, Head of the Public Order and Road Traffic Department The body-cams serve as an additional security measure to reduce aggressive behaviour and increase employee safety. Data protection requirements are strictly adhered to, and employees are trained accordingly before using the body-cams. Recordings are made in accordance with the applicable data protection guidelines and are used exclusively for the safety and protection of employees and to secure evidence if necessary.
