Islamabad Capital Police (ICP) has distributed body cameras among the Dolphin Squad personnel to ensure transparency and accountability within the force. According to media reports on Wednesday, the body cameras were distributed under the direct orders of Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, ICCPO. SSP Safe City initiated the distribution of the cameras and also provided training to the Dolphin Squad members on how to use them.The primary objective of this initiative is to ensure the secure and verifiable recording of interactions between police officials and the public. ICP aims to foster a safer environment, deter criminal activities, and keep a vigilant eye on any suspicious individuals or events by doing so.

 During the training session, Dolphin Squad members were instructed to consistently wear and operate the body cameras while on duty. This practice guarantees that all interactions with the public are securely recorded, serving as a deterrent against unlawful activities.
