Overview
- Police president Oliver Stepien said the bodycam trial will be extended to at least two additional stations after testing several models.
- About 30 cameras are currently on trial in Teltow-Fläming and Potsdam to increase transparency, deter assaults and preserve evidence.
- Any broader rollout, including possible recordings inside private residences, requires agreement with the Interior Ministry, which Stepien supports.
- The force holds roughly 370 Tasers across readiness police, patrol services and the SEK, and officials are considering wider issuance to local precincts as the federal government plans to equip the Bundespolizei.
- Brandenburg is also running a small Super Recognizer program with two part-time staff used twice so far, while Berlin employs five full-time specialists.
