Introduction to Body Worn Cameras

Description:

Implementing a Body Worn Camera (BWC) Program is a difficult endeavor. Many agencies are being rushed into implementing programs, which means quality training is frequently sacrificed. It is not enough to train officers how to use the cameras, but training must cover critical issues such as policy, deployment strategies, and actions during critical events.

The training must be knowledge and skill based to avoid litigation for failure to train. Equally important to learning how to use the cameras, agencies are required to develop and manage the program.

Where does an agency get Body Worn Camera training when the technology is still fairly new to law enforcement? Dr. Jennifer Matthews leverages years of education and her expertise with Body Worn Cameras to meet the training needs of any size agency.
