Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, Minister-designate for Interior, has announced that the Ghana Police Service will receive 30,800 body cameras for enhanced security monitoring.
He stated that this initiative will improve accountability and restore public trust in the Ghana Police Service, citing rising public outcry against police brutality and extortion.
In response to the challenge, the nominee said that this initiative will require every police officer to wear and activate a body camera whenever they step out to perform official duties.
He told the committee that the use of body cameras would provide an unfiltered and impartial record of police interactions with the public.
“We will ensure that if you are a police officer and you have to step out, then you have your body camera on to take away all the ambiguity and the troubles because when you put the body camera on, everywhere you are, you are being recorded.
“So that when you are on the road extorting money and brutalise others, it will show and record whatever the police officer is doing.”
