The UBCM is having a part in the implementation of Body-worn cameras through its Public Safety Canada working group.

The group will take concern with the financial impacts of the equipping of police with body cams on local governments. The aim is to increase public trust in police through quicker court actions by using video evidence. The equipping of cameras will be a check on racism as well.

The estimated per-unit cost is 2000 to 3000 dollars.
