Body-worn Camera Records: Law, Policy and Practice $385
Provides current state specific legal requirements for these digital records.
Seminar Overview
Who should attend: Anyone who manages, publishes or receives requests for video records.
The management and dissemination of BWC recordings is a rather, albeit unnecessarily, contentious issue in public safety. Whether or not the video shall be released according to the law is one matter while the decision to voluntarily release it is another. These issues are often conflated with the preservation of videos as “evidence”- a separate matter altogether from public records law.
In this 2 day course, in-depth practical information including legal requirements and best practices combined with a hands-on policy development exercise will be provided by subject matter experts from law enforcement. Topics include:
- BWC agency Philosophy, Policy, Privacy and Procedure
- The 3 consumers of video: the agency, the courts, and the public
- Transparency: why have body-worn cameras?
- Developing policy: activation/de-activation, categorization, retention, notifications, release
- Public records/FOIA laws
