EFFICIENT AND TRANSPARENT PATROLLING: THE STRATEGIC USE OF BODYCAMS BY THE MILITARY POLICE

Abstract

The present work analyzes the implementation of body cameras by police officers during their activities and discusses their ability to serve as a tool not only to improve operational actions, but, above all, to ensure individual guarantees. Likewise, they are capable of ensuring greater security for the population in general, as they end up not only inhibiting criminal conduct, but also avoiding impunity due to lack of evidence. From the analysis of cases and data, it is concluded that it is crucial for public security agencies across the country to implement this technology, being an essential tool for the review and improvement of public security practices.
