Eye on Policing: How Body Cameras
Change Law Enforcement
Body-worn cameras are becoming a required tool for police officers in the United States. Communities nationwide are creating mandates for new technology, and federal money is being directed to the implementation of body-worn camera programs. But how will body-worn cameras impact policing? What changes will police officers and the communities they serve experience? Can body-worn cameras solve the big issues like lack of trust, lack of accountability, and miscommunication? The National Law Enforcement Museum is bringing together law enforcement and policy experts to discuss these questions and more. Join the conversation on Tuesday, December 8th.
