The answer

Answered by Keith Brown on 10 Aug 2021 · 20 days after it was lodged, on time

Data is not available at this time on the number of times body worn cameras have been used by Police Scotland as evidence to secure a conviction.
Should the decision be made to rollout the use of body worn cameras to other roles across Police Scotland, a range of data will be gathered to assess the impacts of the rollout including quantative data relating to criminal justice processes.
