PURPOSE: A. To establish uniform guidelines for the use of the Axon Body 4 Body Worn Camera. The system will be used to document various events captured throughout the course of a member’s tour of duty. At the end of the user’s shift, the captured data will be uploaded to evidence.com by placing the BWC in the Port Dickinson Police Axon docking station. Once captured, these recordings cannot be altered in any way and are protected. II. POLICY: A. The Port Dickinson Police Department has implemented the use of Body Worn Camera Video Recording Systems, herein after referred to as BWC to accomplish the following objectives: 1. To enhance officer safety. 2. To enhance the public trust by preserving factual representations of officer-citizen interactions in the form of video and audio recording. 3. To accurately capture statements and events during the course of an incident. 4. To enhance the officer’s ability to document and review statements and actions for both internal reporting requirements and for courtroom preparation/presentation. 5. To provide an impartial measurement for self-critique and field evaluation during recruitment and new officer training. 6. To capture visual and audio information for use in current and future investigations. 143.45 Body Worn Cameras (cont’d) III. TRAINING: A. Members will not utilize the BWC until they have received proper training in its use. B. Training will consist of, but will not be limited to: 1. A full review of the system, its functions, its usage and its activation and deactivation- to include both hardware and software. 2. A review of the user manual and Port Dickinson Police policy. 3. The retention and storage of the video and procedures for placing them into evidence. IV. BUFFERING: - The BWC continuously loops video recording for up to 30 seconds. (Cameras assigned to members of this Office will be set to buffer for 30 seconds). The data captured during the initial buffering period will be video only. No audio is captured during the initial 30 seconds of video footage. The BWC may be placed in sleep mode while in the station to preserve battery life. Since this eliminates the buffering period, the BWC should be returned to “ready” status when going back into the public. V. OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES: A. Members shall test their assigned equipment prior to the beginning of their tour of duty and ensure that it is functioning properly. If problems are encountered with any component of the system, the BWC will not be used. The member shall make the proper notification to their immediate supervisor. B. The BWC will be utilized to record the following types of events, including but not limited to: 1. Traffic and Pedestrian stops 2. Vehicle and foot pursuits 3. Vehicle searches 143.45 Body Worn Cameras (cont’d) 4. Confrontational or adversarial citizen contacts  10 5. Use of force situations 6. When advising a subject of their Miranda Warning 7. Any transport of non-law enforcement, non-village employee personnel C. Consider using the BWC to record: 1. Verbal statements made by suspects/subjects/victims or witnesses 2. Field interrogations 3. Any other legitimate law enforcement purpose deemed necessary by the member. D. Members may record individuals who are picketing or engaged in a peaceful protest or demonstration. E. It will be the responsibility of the member; that once the BWC has been activated, the recording shall not be terminated until the event in question has been concluded. If for some unforeseen reason the recording is stopped it shall be documented in the written incident report. F. There will be times when, due to the complex nature of law enforcement work, exigent circumstances and the immediate safety of the member prevent the activation of the BWC in these situations; the member should document the reason for their inability to activate their BWC. G. Anytime the BWC is used it should be properly documented on any citation and/or reports that are generated due to the incident or encounter. H. Anytime that a member uses the BWC to secure a video statement from a defendant, this too should be documented in the appropriate incident report as well as the CPL 710.30 form when the member intends the video/audio recording to be used in the prosecution of the defendant. The video statement shall not take the place of a written statement where applicable. I. Members may utilize their BWC while working in an official off-duty capacity. 143.45 Body Worn Cameras (cont’d) VI. PROHIBITED USES: A. To respect the dignity of others, employees will try to avoid recording videos of persons who are nude or when sensitive human areas are exposed. It is noted that this may not be practical in all law enforcement encounters. B. The BWC shall not be used to record personal activity. C. The BWC will not be activated in places where a reasonable expectation of privacy exists, such as dressing rooms, restrooms, in a hospital/emergency room setting where sensitive patient information is in plain view or any other location where the use of recording devices is prohibited. D. The BWC will not be intentionally activated to record conversations of fellow employees without their knowledge during routine, non-enforcement related activities. E. Employees shall not record undercover officers. F. Members shall not record victims of sex crimes. G. Any member found to be utilizing the BWC in violation of this policy will be subject to the disciplinary process. VII. EVIDENTIARY PROTOCOLS: A. At the end of the member’s tour of duty, members shall place their BWC in the Axon base. This will allow the data to be uploaded to the Port Dickinson PD Evidence.com account B. Officers will not allow citizens to review the recordings. C. The release of information requested through a public records request will be subject to the same statutory exemptions from disclosure as any other Port Dickinson Police Department record. D. Officers will not make copies of any recording for their personal use and are prohibited from using a recording device (such as a telephone camera or secondary video camera) to record media from Evidence.com or the BWC. Port Dickinson Police Department 143.45 Body Worn Cameras (cont’d) E. Officers will immediately report any loss of, or damage to, any part of the BWC equipment to their supervisor. F. All digital media collected using the BWC is considered a record of the Port Dickinson Police Department. Accessing, copying or releasing any media for other than official law enforcement purposes is strictly prohibited, except as required by law. VIII. CHIEF’S OFFICE REVIEW / ACCESS TO DATA:  11 A. Digital recordings captured by the BWC shall not be randomly reviewed for the sole purpose of discipline. Supervisors may, in good faith, review digital recordings captured by a member to monitor that member’s behavior if a specific complaint has been filed against the member. B. A supervisor may review a specific incident contained in a digital recording for the purposes of training, critique, administrative inquiries or any other articulable reason. C. A supervisory member assigned to conduct an internal affairs investigation shall be provided access by a system administrator to view and download any digital recording associated with the investigation being conducted. D. Members may review their own digital recordings and view any other shared digital recordings from other members who were on the scene of an incident for the purposes of report writing, court preparation and/or training purposes. It should be noted that Evidence.com keeps and maintains a detailed accounting of every digital recording pertaining to who accessed the video and for what purpose. E. Any Officer assigned to a formal Port Dickinson Police criminal investigation may review a digital recording of a specific incident. It is expected that the assigned Officer will review all available digital recordings as part of a complete and thorough investigation. The request to view or download any digital recording associated with the investigation shall be made through a system administrator. 143.45 Body Worn Cameras (cont’d) IX. RETENTION PERIOD AND LABELING RECORDING: A.
