Commissioner of Police, Dr. Kevin Blake, says the use of body-worn cameras is not being resisted by members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

There have been repeated calls for the mandatory use of body-worn cameras by law enforcement officers and for the provision of all footage to the Independent Commission of Investigations and the Inspectorate and Oversight Bureau.

This comes following discrepancies between accounts from law enforcement officers and residents who claim to have witnessed fatal shootings or other incidents involving lawmen.

One notable incident occurred in March this year, when 27-year-old Romario Sterling was killed in Bog Walk, St. Catherine, under questionable circumstances.

Speaking at a meeting of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry in St. James, Commissioner Blake maintained that body-worn cameras are not being imposed on lawmen but were implemented by the Constabulary to protect officers and ensure accountability.

He explained that the proper implementation of body-worn cameras in the Constabulary will take time.
