Prince George RCMP is pleased to announce that it will begin rolling out its Body Worn Cameras to Frontline Police Officers beginning on December 8, 2024. This is part of the RCMP’s modernization efforts and is now the National standard for all RCMP officers across the country.
We are excited to be in the first phase of the body worn camera program in B.C., says Superintendent Darin Rappel, Officer in Charge of the Prince George RCMP. I fully expect Body Worn Cameras to enhance transparency with the public, improve evidence gathering techniques and aid in the timely resolution of public complaints.

Prince George RCMP will be issuing over 100 cameras to its Frontline Police Officers, as well as support sections such as the Downtown Safety Unit, Problem Oriented Policing team and Youth Support Team. During the first week of the deployment, the B.C. Project Team will be in the detachment delivering training and assisting police officers with the new technology.
We are happy to be leading the North as the first detachment in Northern B.C. to be issued the body worn cameras. We value the body worn cameras as another tool that will support our continued commitment to public safety, says Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
