Winnipeg Police Service Launching Body-Worn Camera Pilot Project
The Winnipeg Police Service will launch a six-month Body-Worn Camera Pilot Project beginning May 27, 2026.
As part of the pilot, 40 frontline officers from several operational areas – including General Patrol, Foot Patrol, and the Bail Compliance Unit – will wear body-worn cameras while carrying out their regular policing duties.
The pilot project is part of the Service’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, evidence collection, and enhancing both officer and public safety.
Body-worn cameras are designed to create objective audio and video records of police interactions. The technology may assist with investigations, improve documentation, support court processes, and help strengthen public confidence through greater transparency.

The Winnipeg Police Service invites the public to join a virtual community presentation on the upcoming Body-Worn Camera Pilot Project.
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2026
