The Brandon Police Service (BPS) is moving forward with the implementation of body-worn video (BWV) cameras for frontline officers as part of a broader modernization of policing technology and digital evidence management. Beginning June 2, 2026, BPS will begin the phased rollout of approximately 65 body-worn cameras for frontline officers. As deployment progresses, members of the public can expect to see more uniformed officers equipped with BWV cameras during police interactions. The initiative represents a significant investment in public safety technology, accountability, and transparency. BPS has partnered with Axon Public Safety Canada Inc. to provide the cameras, digital evidence management system, training, and ongoing technical support. Axon technology is currently used by police agencies across Canada, including the RCMP, Manitoba First Nations Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, and Toronto Police Service to name a few. Body-worn cameras are intended to capture investigative and enforcement-related interactions between police officers and members of the public. The cameras are not designed to record every aspect of an officer’s day, but rather to document interactions where recording supports public/officer accountability, evidence collection, and officer and public safety. “Body-worn cameras are an important tool for strengthening transparency, improving evidence collection, and supporting safer outcomes for both officers and the communities they serve,” said Stefan Schurman, Sales Director for Axon Public Safety Canada Inc. “We’re proud to partner with Brandon Police Service as they implement this program and modernize their digital evidence capabilities with technology designed to enhance accountability, operational efficiency, and public trust.” Officers equipped with BWV cameras will wear the devices visibly on the front of their uniforms. When recording is active, the camera will display flashing red indicator lights. Although officers are not legally required to advise individuals they are being recorded, officers are trained to provide verbal notification whenever reasonably possible. The BWV program is also expected to: • Enhance public confidence and strengthen community trust; • Improve evidence gathering and case documentation; • Support timely investigations and court processes; • Assist in the de-escalation of interactions; • Protect officers and members of the public through objective documentation of events. All recordings will be securely stored within a digital evidence management system and managed in accordance with applicable legislation, including Manitoba’s privacy laws and police records retention requirements. Access to footage will be restricted, auditable, and governed by policy and legislation. To support the increased technological and evidence management demands associated with the program, BPS will also be adding three professional staff positions and one sworn officer position dedicated to digital evidence management and technological support. Additional information regarding the Body-Worn Video program, including frequently asked questions, will soon be made available on the Brandon Police Service website located on the City of Brandon website.
