Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), ordered on Saturday, July 10, the creation of a Technical Working Group (TWG) that will study and incorporate the rules on the use of the body-worn cameras issued by the Supreme Court to the existing protocols of the police force.
Eleazar said he had already tasked the Directorate for Operations and the Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM) to come up with the list of people who will form the TWG in the soonest possible time.
Eleazar said the TWG was also instructed to come up with modules that will be used in the training and seminar programs on all the legal aspect of the use of BWCs to the police units which received the units last month.
