Abstract

This study examines the perceptions of Dapitan City police officers regarding their experiences, challenges, and aspirations in the use of body-worn cameras (BWCs), a technology increasingly adopted in modern law enforcement. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, the lived experiences of seven officers were explored through in-depth interviews. Findings reveal that while BWCs enhance transparency, accountability, productivity, and help reduce incidents of violence, their effectiveness is hampered by technical limitations such as device bulkiness and short battery life. The study highlights the need for improvements in BWC technology, including extended battery life and waterproof features, as well as comprehensive technical training for officers on device handling and data interpretation. These insights aim to inform operational practices, guide policy development, and encourage continuous evaluation of technology to strengthen both police performance and community trust.
