PANAJI: The Goa Traffic Police recorded 8,399 traffic violations in just 38 days, averaging approximately 221 offences daily, through body-worn cameras between October 1 and November 7, 2026.
Initially introduced to improve transparency during traffic enforcement, the body-worn cameras are now also being used to document offences such as no-parking, dangerous parking and obstructive parking.
Among Goa’s 18 traffic cells, Canacona recorded the highest number of violations at 1,707, followed by Ponda with 1,686, Bicholim with 1,617 and Vasco with 1,565.
SP Traffic Prabodh Shirvaiker said traffic personnel are required to wear body cameras while conducting patrolling, nakabandi and traffic enforcement duties.
The department currently has 235 body-worn cameras, including 100 additional units distributed in September.
The increased use of body cameras is aimed at strengthening accountability and transparency in traffic enforcement while enabling the police to document violations more effectively.
