Share I read the policy document. In general, I think it looks very good and I agree that BWC are a good idea. The stated purpose for the cameras in the document is laudable, but I wonder how you plan to measure success in achieving the purpose.

Thank you for your comment and question. We are measuring the success of the program and are treating the policy as a living document. Some of factors we consider for the success of the program/policy relate to the number of public complaints regarding the use of BWC, Officer and public safety, public feedback, protection of privacy, decreases in Officer misconduct complaints and enhanced accountability. So far, BWC have proven to be an effective tool in documenting Officer/public interactions and have been well received in the field.
