The number of assaults on officers has fallen by 11%, said the Federal Railways in a report. It points out that, in nearly half of cases when people were stopped, the mere announcement of the start of recording via a bodycam led to a de-escalation of the situation.

In all, bodycams worn by transport police officers were activated 687 times since September 2024. In 202 cases, the recordings served as evidence and in 485 cases the recordings were interrupted because the situation had de-escalated after the camera was activated.
