The introduction of body cameras for police officers in Cyprus is facing significant delays, with technical details yet to be finalized and no procurement tender issued as of now. Although the body camera law was passed by Parliament on March 26, 2026, both technical specifications and an assessment of police needs are currently being drafted, casting doubt on the projected enforcement within the same year. The initiative, a collaboration between the Justice Ministry and Cyprus Police, aims to deter false complaints, protect citizens, and reinforce evidence in criminal procedures. Despite the delay, specific provisions within the legislation require officers to activate cameras during critical operations like arrests, searches, or when attending crime scenes to maintain transparency and accountability.
