This camera will record the activities between the on-duty traffic sergeants, vehicle owners and drivers.
Higher police officials may supervise the camera, if necessary, he added. “It is a 40 megapixel high resolution camera that could record the audio and video for 12 hours and it could be monitored from the command centre. It can be worn on the head or body,” the police commissioner said.
“Introduction of the camera could ensure transparency and accountability of police sergeants as it could take snapshots of all the activities and record conversations of police sergeants.
