Tijuana Puts 400 Police Body Cameras Into Service

Officials say the devices aim to boost transparency by recording stops and detentions.

Overview

  • Tijuana police began wearing the 400 body cameras right away on routine patrols and calls.
  • The city said the purchase cost about 10 million pesos.
  • Equipment went to 14 district chiefs and 10 section chiefs who will oversee use in the field.
  • The first phase targets traffic units, the tourist police, and busy areas such as Zona Río and the border crossing.
  • The footage will serve as evidence in internal reviews or court cases, with patrol-car cameras adding more angles, and officials did not detail storage or public access rules.
