Executive Summary:
The Police and Crime Commissioner has approved a contract to provide new vehicle data recording devices for the force fleet.
They will replace the old devices, which have been in use since 2004.
The old devices are expensive to maintain and approaching the end of their useful life.
Using data recording devices is in line with IPCC best practice.
Devices record incident data and also influence driver behaviour. As a result, they encourage officers to use the fleet efficiently.
