The delegation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs/Police Administration is on a study visit to the Malta Police in Valletta, which, as announced, is an opportunity to exchange experiences and get to know the equipment and the actual procedure for equipping police officers, the so-called "body" cameras.
Those cameras, as they clarified, are used to record the undertaking of official police actions, which are placed on the body of a police officer.
The Police Directorate states that their colleagues from Malta successfully implemented that system in previous years, which gave positive results and significantly contributed to reducing the number of attacks and insults directed at police officers, as well as reducing cases of exceeding police powers.
"The Police Administration of Montenegro is intensively undertaking activities in order to create preconditions for the implementation of this project in our country, in accordance with the Law on Internal Affairs, the Law on the Protection of Personal Data, and in accordance with the recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or punishment (CPT), and all with the aim of primarily protecting the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens when applying police powers, but also protecting police officers from unfounded reports of violation of official duties and abuse or disproportionate use of powers. On this occasion, representatives of the Malta Police expressed their full support to this initiative, expressing readiness to provide professional and other help and support," the announcement states.
