Body Worn Camera Environmental Scan
Hello Everyone,
The University of Toronto is currently conducting a Body Worn Camera Pilot for their Special Constables.? We are hoping to hear from other Post-Secondary institutions within Canada regarding the following questions:
Thank You,
Mike
- What is the current status of body worn cameras (BWCs) on your campus?
- E.g. (actively using, pilot stage, evaluating, not considering)
- If using BWCs on campus in any capacity:
- What was the primary reason driving implementation? (increasing safety concerns on campus; staff (campus safety) safety; need for objective evidence; other?)
?
- Who are the individuals authorized to wear the BWCs (e.g. Special Constables, In-House Security, Contracted Security, etc.)
?
- If not using or not considering BWCs, what is the primary reason why not? (budget/cost; no perceived need; not within scope of practice; difficulty implementing; other?)

Mike,
On behalf of CSES of Queens University I can offer the following:
?
- What is the current status of body worn cameras (BWCs) on your campus??We do not? utilize BWC
- E.g. (actively using, pilot stage, evaluating, not considering)
- If using BWCs on campus in any capacity:
- What was the primary reason driving implementation? (increasing safety concerns on campus; staff (campus safety) safety; need for objective evidence; other?)
- Who are the individuals authorized to wear the BWCs (e.g. Special Constables, In-House Security, Contracted Security, etc.)
- If not using or not considering BWCs, what is the primary reason why not? (budget/cost; no perceived need; not within scope of practice; difficulty implementing; other?) The prevalent sentiment at Queens is such that even moving to security wearing vests was met with high level of discomfort and during a recent 8 week strike there was a great deal of “push back” against the use of video surveillance during a strike (we utilized an external contractor equiped with BWC). The BWC proved to be very beneficial in quickly closing off complaints so I hope that in the near future we could use the strike experience to bolster a business case for BWCs

Hi Mike,?
we have deployed BWC following a pilot project. ?The primary reasons was for transparency as well as gathering evidence during interventions. ?We developed an SOP and online training that our agents must complete. ?We also wanted to leverage the live streaming option to provide situational awareness during interventions and demonstrations. ?Our agents are contract security.

Hi Mike
We are not currently utilizing BWCs at Western.
At this time we do not perceive the need for BWCs for Western Special Constables.
Of note for us at WSCS is the London Police Service is at the beginning stages of their BWC deployment project and so we may? get some direction from the LPS on BWCs in the future. If we were to go with BWCs we would deploy them with our Special Constables only.

Hi Mike
Since the recent deployment of BWC in the Guelph Police Service, I have been asked by UofG executives to look into the acquisition of cameras.
I am in the middle of a key-campus-stakeholder consultation phase where I’m basically interviewing identified employees at various levels about their perceptions and thoughts. They are each provided a list of 12 pros/cons and so far, the opinions are split.
If BWC are adopted, I anticipate they will be deployed after May 2026 – and I will be asking the UofG tech folks to contact those of you who have already deployed.
The policy guideline doc created by OACP seems straight forward and I’m planning on using this as a template for our new policy.

Brock University Campus Safety Services is not currently considering BWC, in April 2025, the Niagara Regional Police did implement BWC after consultation with the community and presentation to the police services board.?
Our primary reason for not considering BWC at this time is budget costs and it is not currently an identified requirement.

Hi Mike!
We are actively using.
The primary reason driving the implementation the need for objective evidence and staff safety!
For now only McGill University Employees (In-House Security) authorized to wear the BWCs.

Hi There…RRCP doesn’t use body worn cameras.? We have discussed this but at this time it is not something that we feel we need to explore.? A big deciding factor would be the cost of the equipment.

Mike,
- What is the current status of body-worn cameras (BWCs) on your campus?
- Fanshawe introduced a body-worn program in 2023, utilizing Axis body cameras. It was well received by the college community and the S/Cst’s who used them. ?In late 2024, when our sponsoring service introduced a body-worn program using Axon, we were directed to cease our program, citing data storage and retention, case management, and disclosure uncertainties. We are still navigating the uncharted waters of the Community Safety and Policing Act, combined with a new MOU and SOP with our sponsoring service. Once we have a clearer picture of what case management would like and can forecast storage and retention, I am hopeful to bring it back; however, some logistical obstacles need to be overcome. Currently, our program is on ice, and the body cams are on the shelf.
- ?
- If using BWCs on campus in any capacity:
- What was the primary reason driving implementation? (increasing safety concerns on campus; staff (campus safety) safety; need for objective evidence; other?)
- The reason for the implementation was simple. There are numerous reports from inquests along with supporting academic papers in which body cameras have been referenced as a means to build on the existing wavering levels of public trust, hold the officers accountable for their actions and serve as a means to collect evidence. In order to be proactive, one must stop and listen to the people whom they work to protect. The BWC was brought in as an additional tool which provided a benefit to the college community and the S/Cst’s who wore them.
As a bonus, once the program is implemented, users will notice the body-worn tend to de-escalate things, and the public receives them well. During the short time we used the cameras, we did not have any subjects oppose the use of body-worn cameras during an interaction.?
??????? Who are the individuals authorized to wear the BWCs (e.g. Special Constables, In-House Security, Contracted Security, etc)
?? Only S/Cst are authorized to wear the cameras
- If?not?using or?not?considering BWCs, what is the primary reason why not? (budget/cost; no perceived need; not within scope of practice; difficulty implementing; other?)
If I have the opportunity, I will bring them back in a heartbeat.

It has been an executive request to evaluate this equipment. We are in a multi year process at professionalising the department and has significant investment in the past few years in upgrading all the equipment in the department as well as providing more resources on the field. It is sought for community interaction, community trust, accountability, investigation and training purposes. But budget will be a big factor for us going forward, same with privacy concerns in regards to Quebec Privacy Laws.?
