Body worn cameras

Pyrenees Shire Council Community Safety and Amenity officers have begun wearing body worn cameras for safety and transparency reasons.

Body worn cameras will not be used to monitor residents but only to record an interaction between the officers and the public when the officer thinks it is necessary to do so.

Any footage recorded will be downloaded and stored in accordance with the relevant guidelines.

Footage recorded can be accessed by a Freedom of Information request.
