Police body cameras can dramatically reduce the number of complaints against officers, research suggests. When they were introduced to the American public two years ago, police body-cameras seemed like they might help everyone.

Police departments liked that body cams reduced the number of public complaints about officer behavior. Communities and protesters liked that they would introduce some transparency and accountability to an officer’s actions.

Body-worn camera training should be required for all agency personnel who may use or otherwise be involved with body-worn cameras. This includes supervisors whose officers wear cameras, records management personnel, training personnel, Internal Affairs, etc. Training should be ongoing and include an overview of relevant laws, procedures for operating the equipment safely and effectively, scenario-based exercises, data management procedures, and how to present video evidence in court.

Agencies should collect statistical data concerning body-worn camera usage. Collecting and releasing this data helps promote transparency and allows agencies to evaluate program effectiveness. Agencies should conduct periodic reviews of body-worn camera policies and protocols.
