Police Officer Body Cameras (Updated on Status of Exploratory Committee and <br />Department Of Justice Grant Submission) - Commander Jason Viramontes {Strategic Plan <br />Goal No. 1, if and 3b} <br />Commander Jason Viramontes gives a power point presentation updating progress made by the <br />Body Camera Exploratory Committee. The Exploratory Committee has been formed and 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. Although body cameras have benefits, it is <br />important to remember that cameras do not record things exactly as the officer sees them and <br />camera speeds differ from life speed. A camera can never replace a thorough investigation. <br />Policy decisions will be made as to questions related to public records request acts and body <br />cameras. Before the next meeting in May, the Committee will look at privacy concerns and <br />begin planning officer forums for feedback from the officers required to wear body cameras. <br />3.
