Dublin Frontline Gardaí Begin Using Body Cameras

After the initial rollout in Dublin, the use of body cameras will extend to Limerick and Waterford​.

Frontline gardaí in Dublin have begun wearing body cameras this morning.

150 gardaí in the capital will now be able to gather evidence with the cameras, with a further 200 Dublin-based gardaí to be trained in the next fortnight.

The roll-out will then be extended to Limerick and Waterford cities.

The cameras will be worn on the jackets of gardaí, and be turned on and off manually - they'll have a flashing red light or display a live-stream screen, to alert members of the public that they're being recorded.
