Body Cameras Missing in Police Shootings | Trinidad and Tobago News

Trinidad and Tobago’s Police Complaints Authority is sounding the alarm over a shocking absence of body camera footage in 27 fatal police shootings this year—zero seconds submitted, despite a 2016 mandate requiring officers to wear them. The director, echoing last year’s same crisis with 37 deaths and no footage, warns this lack of evidence undermines accountability and transparency. While the policy was designed to protect both citizens and officers by deterring misconduct and providing objective records, the reality reveals a troubling gap between policy and practice—with the police commissioner yet to explain why footage isn’t being turned over. Without these critical videos, the investigative process remains clouded, leaving vital questions unanswered and public trust in jeopardy.
