BODY CAMERA PROGRAMS INCREASE IN US • Controversial incidents/shootings, public demand for information/answers. • Increased scrutiny/accountability for police agencies. • Our need for better equipment capability, lower liability, lower complaints, and uses of force. • Many states currently debating/drafting legislation requiring LE agencies to wear them. It is inevitable that this will likely be required equipment by law enforcement in the near future. • Our department's problems with current system's performance/capability, as compared to the cost for that system. • Over 300 law enforcement agencies nationwide already use them. Purpose of the Cameras • Public Safety. • Officer Safety. • Reconstruction and recall of incidents and scenes. • Details of any incident from several vantage points from the officers and vehicles on scene. • Transparency/Accountability. • Additional ability to identify performance and/or training issues. • Job satisfaction.
