Imperial Community Safety and Security (CSS) officers have started a four-week trial of wearing Body-Worn Cameras (BWC) on patrol duty since Wednesday 20th August. Officers may only activate their cameras in “specific situations” of challenge, including any situation involving the use of force. The use of BWC by security staff has already been implemented by other UK universities, including Newcastle in 2013 and Bristol in 2021. The College's BWC experiment also comes a little over a year after the establishment of the Palestine solidarity encampment on Queen’s lawn, which has occasionally been the scene of heated exchanges between Imperial security officers and activists. In total, two disciplinary investigations “involving allegations relating to such protests” were undertaken by Imperial, leading to no disciplinary action.
