Starting today, Manitoba RCMP has begun the deployment of body-worn cameras, with the first in Steinbach.
The use of these cameras will be complemented by a digital evidence management system that will be used to store and manage body-worn video.
The Portage la Prairie, Amaranth and Treherne detachments will follow on December 4th.
The next will be launched on January 7th in East St. Paul, Grand Marais (Maray), and Selkirk.
In total, from now to April, 2025, it is expected that over 490 Manitoba RCMP officers in 44 detachments will be equipped with body-worn cameras.
All other detachments throughout Manitoba will have body-worn cameras and the digital evidence management system rolled out to them in a phased approach over the course of the next 18 months.
