Some 500 police officers in London have begun wearing cameras on their uniforms as a part of a trial aimed at increasing trust and speeding up justice for victims.
"Video captures events in a way that can't be represented on paper in the same detail and it has been shown the mere presence of this type of video can often defuse potentially violent situations without the need for force to be used.
"I believe it will also show our officers at their best, dealing with difficult and dangerous situations every day but it will also provide clearer evidence when it's been alleged that we got things wrong. That has to be in both our own and the public's interest."
He said: "Body-worn video will not only help us fight crime and support victims but help the Met to be more accountable.
"Our experience of using cameras already shows that people are more likely to plead guilty when they know we have captured the incident. That speeds up justice, puts offenders behind bars more quickly and protects potential victims.

Officers wearing the devices will not have them permanently switched on and will have to follow specific guidelines on when they can be used.
