Decision:
Decision
That Cabinet approve and adopt the Body Worn Video (BWV) Policy.
Reasons for the decision
This Policy had been developed to ensure the appropriate use of BWV by officers within South Kesteven District Council. The use of BWV aimed to enhance personal safety, reduce incidents of abuse or aggression, provide an accurate record of events, and increase transparency and accountability.
Other options considered and rejected
The Council could have decided not to adopt a Policy and continue the current use of BWV, via enforcement officers, mainly for car parking enforcement work only. However it was decided to reject this option and adopt a bespoke Policy.
