    Body worn cameras have the potential to provide benefits to both law enforcement and the public they serve. A brief history shows body cameras first being tested in the UK in 2005 and their increased use in the US following high-profile police shootings in recent years. While upfront costs can be high, studies indicate body cameras can help improve behavior from both officers and citizens, leading to economic benefits like reduced paperwork and legal costs. However, concerns around privacy must still be addressed. Overall, with proper training and access controls, body cameras may help build accountability and trust between police and communities.
