What’s this about?

Body worn cameras were piloted among Sheriff’s Officers in 2023 under the Court Security Act 2005, and the Surveillance Devices Act 2007. The pilot aimed to test the effectiveness of body worn cameras in improving the safety for people attending court or receiving a court order, and Sheriff’s Officers.

We are seeking feedback from the general public as well as people who have interacted with Sheriff’s Officers, including:

  • court users
  • those who have recently been served a warrant, or enforcement order, or been part of an eviction process in the last six months
  • members of the public who have served on a jury in the last six months
  • legal professionals who work regularly within the court system
