Acting Officer in Charge, Inspector Chris Goebel, said body cameras have become a national standard in modern policing, and are vital in helping to build trust among the public and resolve public compalints.
"The Kelowna/Central Okanagan RCMP are excited to be among the first RCMP detachments in British Columbia to deploy this highly anticipated equipment,” he said in a media release.
The BC RCMP plan to roll out more than 3-thousand cameras over the next 12 to 18 months.
Mounties in Mission, Tofino, Cranbrook, Kamloops and Prince George already wear body cameras.
