(NOELVILLE / SUDBURY / WEST NIPISSING, ON) - The Nipissing West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is now equipped with Body-Worn Cameras (BWC).

After a successful roll out of In Car Cameras (ICC), which incorporated an Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system, the Nipissing West OPP, along with other detachments within the North East Region, are rolling out BWC’s for each individual officer.

The BWCs are worn on the front of the officer’s vest and are clearly visible to anyone an officer may be interacting with. The BWC will display a visible green ring with flashing lights when in standby mode, which will turn flashing red once the BWC’s begin recording.

The Nipissing West OPP remains dedicated to ensuring public safety and providing proactive, innovative policing in partnership with our communities. We value your role in helping build safer communities for everyone.
