Bodycam

What is a bodycam?

Our enforcement officers use a bodycam. This is a camera placed on the uniform that can record images. Enforcement officers sometimes face aggression, such as swearing and sometimes even physical violence. Experience shows that visibly wearing such cameras can prevent aggression. This is good for the safety of the enforcers.

Saving data

The bodycam stores the captured images with special software. The enforcer cannot immediately view and/or delete the images on the street. When the enforcer is in the office, the camera is placed in a docking station. A docking station is a secure environment. The municipality keeps the images for up to four weeks. After that, the images are deleted unless there is a reason by law not to do so. In case of a report or a complaint, the images can be reviewed afterwards.

When may the municipality view the images?

In three cases, the congregation may view the images:

  • if the prosecution requests the images for investigation;
  • a filmed resident files a complaint;
  • a filmed resident makes a request to view the footage.

Working method of bodycams

Our enforcers wear bodycams for their own safety. Below we briefly explain when and how bodycams are used and what happens to the images.

Situation gets out of hand

A situation with a person on the street threatens to get out of hand. An unsafe situation arises for the enforcer and bystanders.

Pointing to the bodycam

The enforcer alerts the person that he/she has a bodycam and is going to turn it on.

Turn on bodycam

If the warning does not make the situation safer, the enforcer turns on the bodycam.

Saving images

The bodycam stores the captured images with special software. The enforcer cannot immediately view and/or delete the images on the street.

Upload images

At the office, the enforcer places the bodycam in a docking station. This is a secure environment.

Preserving the images

The municipality keeps the images for a maximum of four weeks. After that, the images are automatically deleted unless there is a reason under the law not to do so.
