The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners as a part of community outreach regarding the impending use and deployment of Body Worn Video cameras by our officers is interested in your opinions and comments.
Please take a few minutes and respond to the below questions.
- When should officers turn the camera on and under what circumstances should they turn them off?
- Are there instances or locations where you believe recordings should not take place?
- How should the LAPD protect the privacy of those individuals who are recorded on video?
- Do you believe officers should be able to view the video prior to writing the necessary reports?
- Do you believe that Department supervisors should regularly review the video captured to ascertain opportunities for improved training?
- Any other comments you would like to provide and questions you believe the Police Commission should ask the LAPD as the development of the policy is reviewed.
