A public procurement is planned for the purchase of 15,200 "body cameras" and video surveillance cameras for installation in a car. This was stated by the Minister of Interior Daniel Mitov in a written response to a question from the MP Nikolay Radulov, quoted by BTA.
The cameras will be used by security police in the following areas: patrol and post activity, territorial service and traffic police, as well as for the needs of border police and the "Gendarmerie" directorate.
The Minister recalls that since 2020, technical means for video recording when performing security activities have been put into operation in the Ministry of Interior - personal police cameras (ed. "body cameras" - which are attached to the uniform of the employees) and a video recorder.
Currently, 4,034 personal police cameras have been provided to the security and traffic police in the regional directorates of the Ministry of Interior and the Sofia Directorate of Interior, some of which are video recorders, Minister Mitov informed in his response.
