Body Worn Cameras Rollout in Collingwood and The Blue Mountains

Date:

Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

(COLLINGWOOD, ON) – On February 03, 2025, members of the Ontario Provincial Police in Central Region commenced training on the new Axon 4 Body Worn Cameras (BWC). The cameras are produced by Axon Enterprises (formerly Taser International) and are part of the OPP’s broader strategy to bring technology to the day-to-day operations of police in Ontario.

The officers of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP are proud to announce that officers have started receiving their BWC for immediate use in the community. Members of the public can now expect to see these new Body Worn Cameras attached to the front of officers’ uniforms.

The BWC devices are linked to the OPP’s current Digital Evidence Management system that collects, manages, and shares video evidence. Central Region OPP vehicles already have in-car cameras (ICC) and Automatic Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) software installed. The footage that is collected is automatically stored in the cloud-based system.     

Members of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP welcome the implementation and use of any tools or technologies that support better evidence and transparency during interactions with citizens. Body Worn Cameras enhance public and officer safety in the communities we serve.

Thanks, Wes.

Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
