There’s been a disturbing surge in recent months in physical and verbal assaults on service workers. Stories of abuse against retail workers, delivery drivers, health care providers, and airline crew members have riddled the news of late. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration says it has received reports of 3,082 unruly passenger incidents so far in 2021, up from just 146 in pre-pandemic 2019.
Some blame the pandemic, claiming it has caused many to develop chronic stress, which can lead to anxious and aggressive behavior. Regardless, service workers appear to be getting the brunt of it. And business owners are searching for new ways to protect them and their reputation. Many are now adding body-worn cameras to their security systems as further protection.
Global research organization Omdia has identified body cameras in non-law enforcement applications as a top trend in 2021, saying the potential addressable market for commercial body-worn cameras dwarfs that of law enforcement.
Body cameras dissuade aggression, improve accountability, and reduce false accusations. Employees from private security guards to retail staff, in-home service providers, and delivery workers feel safer and more valued when wearing body cameras.
