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.
