Wednesday, March 30, 2016 • 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern US Time

 

This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of trends and matters of importance regarding the adoption and use of body worn cameras for public safety and law enforcement. The presentations have been designed to provide insights for emergency response professionals, through the examination of burgeoning functionalities as well as operational impacts, while moving these issues into the larger conversation of technology use and development for critical communications and public accountability.

 

Key Points:

• public opinion is a strong driver for adoption of body worn cameras, particularly in the wake of several recent high profile police community interactions, injuries and, tragically, loss of life
• a series of financial and operational considerations must also come into play when determining how to deploy these systems, in addition to the cost of the cameras: staffing, data storage, governance, equipment maintenance, evidence processing, and training resources
