The cameras that will be attached to police uniforms will be recording the
officers’ conversations with motorists.
The tender to supply the wearable cameras to the police concluded on
October 31. The contract, which is worth EUR 111,440, was awarded to Saint-Tech company.
The cameras were supplied on December 21, but technical and legal
formalities have yet to completed.
Normunds Krapsis, the head of the Traffic Safety Department of the State Police, told LETA
that the police would start using the cameras only in February because they
have to learn how to use them first.
Officers will switch on their cameras during communication with traffic
participants.
