Les cameras portatives sont aujourd’hui considerees comme le nouvel outil ayant le potentiel de transformer la police. Celles-ci sont percues comme une solution pour : 1) augmenter la transparence, la reddition des comptes et la legitimite de la police ; 2) ameliorer l’efficacite des enquetes ; et 3) rehausser la securite des citoyens et des policiers. Or, les resultats du corpus d’etudes evaluant les effets reels de ces cameras sont, d’une part, mitiges, d’autre part, majoritairement americains. Le contexte social et legal canadien etant different de celui des Etats-Unis, les resultats americains ne sont pas necessairement transposables au Canada. Quelques evaluations canadiennes sont toutefois disponibles pour guider la prise de decisions relatives aux cameras portatives sur policiers au Canada. L’objectif du present article est donc de proposer une revue de la portee (scoping review) de 28 etudes sur les cameras portatives menees au Canada entre 2010 et 2021 et ayant souleve des enjeux de legitimite et d’efficacite de la police. Les constats sont divises en trois sections distinctes : 1) les bonnes pratiques en matiere d’utilisation des cameras portatives dans les organisations policieres canadiennes ; 2) le contraste entre les attentes a l’egard de cet outil et son reel potentiel ; et 3) les enjeux et limites associes a cet outil. Alors que l’article met en lumiere certains effets positifs des cameras portatives, une reflexion est entamee quant a leur plus-value a la lumiere de leurs enjeux et limites.

Caméras portatives sur policiers : état de la situation au Canada

AbstractThis chapter explores the overarching positive peace pillar of ‘well-functioning government’ to evaluate how it sits in the context of cities and communities. Its effectiveness is crucial as we delve into critical directions and provide debates that could suggest reaching positive peace in cities. It is an overarching pillar mainly because it is embedded in multiple aspects and various dimensions, allowing us to enhance public administration, legality, law enforcement, and accountability, all of which are important in achieving a sound economic environment and better governance. The chapter shows how ICTs could help augment governance through innovation and public management. These are discussed in the form of governance models, such as developing e-Government infrastructures and towards e-Transformations.KeywordsWell-functioning governmentInformation platformsE-GovernmentE-TransformationGovernancePositive peace 

ICT for a Well-Functioning Government in Cities: Towards Integrated Information Platforms for E-Government and E-Transformation

A body worn camera is small video camera worn on the body, typically used by police officers to record arrests, evidence from crime scenes. It helps preventing and resolving complaints brought by members of the public; and strengthening police transparency, performance, and accountability. The main constants of this type of the system are video format, resolution, frames rate, and audio quality. This system records the video in .mp4 format with 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second. One more important aspect to while designing this system is amount of power the system requires as battery management becomes very critical. The main design challenges are Size of the Video, Audio for the video. Combining both audio and video and saving it in .mp4 format, Battery, size that is required for 8 hours of continuous recording, Security. For prototyping this system is implemented using Raspberry Pi model B.
