West Midlands Police officers are to wear cameras on their helmets in a bid to cut crime in Coventry. Officers will have the miniature CCTV cameras fixed to their headwear and clothing. It is thought people would be deterred if their behaviour is filmed.
Images the officers capture may be used in court to support their work to tackle anti-social behaviour.
The cameras have been trialled in other areas including, Teesside and Berkshire in the last two years.
