These areas are identified by hyphenated zone designations (i.e. R.1B-XX). Specialized areas are specific to a property or area and the “Specialized Areas” document should be reviewed to determine changes to the general uses or regulations of that area. For all items not included in the special zone, the general uses or regulations of the parent zone apply. Body cameras (CSBs) are suitable for audio and video recording and are used to record interactions between compliance officers and members of the public during investigative and enforcement activities. By-law compliance officers activate their Biological Weapons Convention when they arrive for a call for the service or when they initiate an investigative communication, and deactivate their Biological Weapons Convention when the call for the service or investigation is complete. In some situations, CSBs may be temporarily stopped (for example, to avoid recording sensitive circumstances such as medical treatment) or deactivated when the officer is no longer involved in law enforcement actions or interacts with members of the public. CSEB are used to record specific incidents and are not used for general monitoring.
