ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
In line with its strategic vision to enhance safety and security, Abu Dhabi Police General Headquarters has regulated the use of cameras in the duties of its personnel, covering the operation of cameras, preservation and handling of recordings, and the maintaining of confidentiality and non-disclosure.
The step allows personnel to operate recordings in public, and in private places during legally authorised search and arrest missions, given that the camera is placed in clear sight on military uniform or civil attire, so that it is visible to members of the public, and that detainees are informed when the camera is switched on.
For maintaining the confidentiality of recordings, Abu Dhabi Police will ensure the saving of content through appropriate storage means, without any alterations or additions to the recordings. Personnel will not publish or share recordings except for official work purposes and with prior approvals from the competent authority.
