Police, security and compliance officers often use body worn cameras as part of evidential and safety requirements.
IPSQA CorePass® certification for body-worn camera operators is beneficial to agencies and communities as it ensures operators are independently validated on their knowledge and skills, promoting accountability and transparency, which in turn enhances public trust and operational effectiveness.
Whether used as a stand-alone assessment, or the assessment is integrated within a training programme, a summative assessment is performed by a designated IPSQA Assessor who will test the candidate against a range of skills and knowledge requirements including:
- Legal, ethical, privacy and procedural considerations
- Data management, access, tagging storage and security
- Operation of body worn cameras to de-escalate and record evidence
- Preparing data for presentation in legal proceedings
The certification is ideal for:
- Police Officers
- Security Guards
- Retail Loss Prevention Specialists
- Animal Control Officers
- Park Rangers
- Parking Wardens
Our CorePass® scheme is different from our other certifications (such as CertPubS®, DefraQual®, ProQual, WorkQual etc), as it does not use the ISO17024:2012 standard. This means the assessor can also be the candidate’s instructor and a lighter level of quality assurance applies. Assessment is still robust with the Accredited Testing Provider still required to ensure assessment tools used are compliant and that evidence is retained for external audit and moderation.
For candidates seeking certification for law enforcement, security and compliance, IPSQA offers a range of other certification products including:
- IPSQA CorePass® Dog Bite Prevention
- IPSQA CorePass® First Aid I-IV
- IPSQA CorePass® Tactical Communications
- IPSQA Award in Public Safety (Defensive Tactics)
