DBKL deploys 200 body cameras for enforcement officers in capital

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is equipping its enforcement unit with 200 additional body-worn cameras as it makes the devices compulsory for field operations. The move aims to ensure greater transparency and documentation during enforcement activities across the capital. The cameras will capture interactions between enforcement officers and the public, providing an objective record of field operations. DBKL officials indicated that the footage will serve as an important accountability mechanism, with devices required to be activated during all outdoor enforcement duties. The implementation represents an expansion of DBKL's existing body camera programme and reflects growing emphasis on transparency in municipal enforcement. The initiative is expected to enhance public confidence in enforcement operations while providing protection for officers through documented evidence of their conduct during field work.
