The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission has tabled its much-anticipated report in State
00:06
Parliament this afternoon, which includes 15 recommendations regarding the use of body-worn
00:12
cameras by NSW Police.
00:14
The most significant recommendation is that the force require officers to activate their
00:18
cameras whenever it's likely they will exercise their statutory powers, which would include
00:23
the vast majority of incidents police attend.
00:26
The current NSW Police operating procedure says that officers should use their judgement
00:31
when deciding to use their body-worn cameras.
00:34
The Commission examined a range of cases where NSW Police officers failed to capture a significant
00:39
incident on their cameras, including in May 2023 when Stephen Pampaleon was shot dead
00:45
by police.
00:46
The officers claimed the 41-year-old lunged at them with two large knives before they
00:51
were forced to shoot him, but the officer's body-worn camera was not switched on until
00:55
after he was killed.
00:57
Today's report also recommended that body-worn camera footage be made available to be viewed
01:01
by members of the public who make complaints about police misconduct.
01:06
The Commission will now seek a response from the NSW Police force, which said in a statement
01:10
this afternoon it was considering the report and would respond in due course.
