Golden-Field RCMP and Golden-Field BC Highway Patrol officers today began using body worn cameras as part of a national RCMP initiative to enhance transparency, accountability, and public trust.

Body-worn cameras are an important tool that help provide an objective record of police interactions, support investigations, and improve evidence collection. The cameras are activated during calls for service and other police interactions in accordance with RCMP policy and applicable privacy laws.

The introduction of body-worn cameras is another step toward strengthening public confidence and ensuring our officers and community members are supported by accurate documentation of police encounters.

Members of the public may notice officers wearing the cameras on the front of their uniform. Signage and verbal notifications may be provided when appropriate, although there may be circumstances where officers are unable to notify individuals immediately.

Golden-Field RCMP remains committed to providing professional, transparent, and accountable policing while continuing to build positive relationships within the communities we serve.
