🎯 Learning Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Complete the end-of-duty handover procedure and formal report to the BWC Administrator (s.8.4).
  • Demonstrate correct storage of BWCs in the docking station when not on duty (s.8.6).

Operational Overview

JCF BWC SOPs (Section 8.0) govern the entire lifecycle of the camera — from distribution to disposal. Every step must be documented in either the Station Diary/SRMS or the JCF BWC Register (Form JCF/FW/PL/Ops/0009/2021/F01).

End-of-Duty Handover (Section 8.4)

Upon completion of duty, the BWC and accessories shall be handed to the BWC Administrator, who cross-references the Station Diary/SRMS and updates the BWC Register — the handing-over member must sign the register (8.4.1).

The member must make a formal report to the BWC Administrator on:

  • incidents that may result in complaints, court action, or further investigation;
  • incidents that warranted BWC use but where the device was not used;
  • any malfunction, failure, or damage (8.4.2).

BWC Administrator End-of-Duty Checks (Section 8.4.3)

On receiving the BWC, the Administrator shall:

  • inspect the device for visible damage;
  • place the BWC on the dock for charging and footage upload;
  • where a malfunction or damage is found, make an entry in the Station Diary/SRMS and BWC Register and submit a report to the ACP Technology Branch.

Storage (Section 8.6)

When not assigned to personnel, BWCs shall be stored in the docking stations (Section 8.6.2).

💡 Key Point

Section 8.3 NB: If a member fails to activate the BWC or interrupts the recording, the member shall submit a WRITTEN REPORT outlining the reason(s) and may face disciplinary action for any breach detected.

⚠️ Policy Reminder

Only trained and authorised members shall be issued with and use BWCs, related equipment and accessories (Section 8.2.6). Unauthorised members using a BWC are in breach of this policy and may face disciplinary action.
