Police officers in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Borders have begun deploying body-worn video cameras ahead of Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Around 1,800 officers in the capital, including road policing units and dog handlers, will be equipped with the new devices over the coming weeks, marking the halfway point in a national initiative that began in Tayside last March.
The hope is that it will deter any repeat of violence seen around Bonfire Night in recent years.
