The Exploratory Committee has been formed said goals <br />set to research and vet all issues related to body cameras. Comprehensive reports and <br />recommendations based on these findings will be provided to the Chief of Police and the Senior <br />Management Team. Some of the benefits include increased officer professionalism and an <br />increase in community trust. Potential concerns are when to record, where to wear it, who is <br />required to wear it, the chain of custody. One of the main things the Committee will be <br />exploring is the retention of the recordings.
