Cops to use body-worn cameras in securing special polls in 12 Lanao del Sur barangays
The Philippine National Police (PNP) will deploy body-worn cameras for police officers securing the special elections in 12 barangays in Lanao del Sur to ensure peaceful and credible polls.
The use of body cameras aims to document all operations and responses, enhancing transparency and aiding in legal actions against those who might try to sabotage the elections.
PNP director for operations, Maj. Gen. Valeriano de Leon, stated that accessible body-worn cameras from surrounding regions will be deployed.
Higher-ranking commanders will be able to monitor the activities of personnel on the ground through a real-time video feed from the body cameras.
The special elections are scheduled for May 24 in Tubaran, Lanao del Sur, following a previous declaration of a failure of elections in these areas due to security concerns.
