Summary
From July 1, 2009 to October 30, 2009 the Victoria Police Department conducted testing of video and audio
recording equipment for use by front line officers. There were two types of equipment tested: Body Worn
Video (BWV) sometimes referred to as “head cameras”, and In Vehicle Video (IVV). Officers assigned to
either foot or bicycle patrols were responsible for testing BWV equipment and officers from the traffic
section were primarily responsible for testing IVV equipment. There were four sets of BWV available to
officers and IVV cameras were installed in three police cars and on one police motorcycle.
