The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) received roughly 1,120 body cameras which have been distributed to officers throughout the country.

Additionally the TTPS is scheduled to get another 2,000 devices.

Meanwhile Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, while responding to Naparima MP Rodney Charles during the sitting of the Lower House on Wednesday,  said body cameras are to be used by first-response officers, and to aid in police investigations in confrontations between the police and criminal elements as well as citizens.

140 body cameras were assigned to Emergency Response Patrols, 230 were assigned to the Police Academy for training; 100 were assigned to the Traffic Division; and 100 were assigned to the Traffic and Highway Patrol Unit.
