Municipal police forces in Slovakia and Romania have begun deploying body-worn camera technology to modernize operations and increase transparency.

In Senica, Slovakia, the municipal police introduced external body cameras to provide objective recordings of incidents and official interventions. Local officials stated the technology aims to enhance safety for both citizens and officers, clarify disputed situations, and build public trust through increased security and transparency.

In Bucharest, Romania, the Sector 1 Local Police deployed 130 body-worn cameras. These devices allow for real-time video and audio transmission to a central dispatch center, enabling supervisors to monitor field operations. This implementation follows legislative changes that extended the right to use audio-video equipment to local police forces, a capability previously reserved for national police.
