The Sarajevo police have taken a significant step forward by implementing the use of body cameras, making the Canton of Sarajevo the first in Bosnia and Herzegovina to do so. Members of the Traffic Unit of the MoI of Sarajevo Canton are now equipped with body cameras, enhancing their ability to serve and protect the citizens.
Minister of Internal Affairs, Admir Katica, expressed his commitment to fulfilling promises to citizens by securing almost half a million BAM for the procurement of these devices. The deployment of body cameras aims to improve the efficiency of police operations and ensure the safety of both officers and citizens.
With a focus on transparency and accountability, the use of body cameras will be closely monitored during a testing phase to address any potential issues. The cameras will provide valuable footage of police interactions and help prevent unwarranted complaints.
As the police continue to strengthen and enhance their capabilities, Minister Katica assured that new uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure are in the pipeline. The recent contract signing for body cameras marks a milestone in the modernization of the Sarajevo police force.
Overall, the introduction of body cameras represents a significant step towards building trust between the police and the community, promoting transparency and ensuring the safety of all parties involved.
