Body-worn video is incredibly important to our community and our officers as we continue to work to enhance transparency, accountability, best practices and trust in policing on a larger scale. When incidents occur, it is imperative light shines on the truth; this technology will help move us towards that end. Body cameras go a long way to put more pieces of the puzzle together, to see the larger picture. Here are some of the benefits of body-worn cameras.
- Improve Accountability
- Promote Transparency and Openness
- Improve Officer Performance and Civilian Conduct
