The Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) does not currently utilise Body Worn Cameras. SAS will continue to regularly review the position of body worn cameras for use by operational staff.
Although not body worn, all service Ambulances and SORT vehicles have internal and external CCTV cameras which do record imagery. This is done in compliance with CCTV regulations.
