Video recordings are everywhere. Whether it’s a body-worn camera (BWC), cell phone camera, in-car camera, bus camera, traffic camera – you name it – cameras and their footage are both and asset and a liability. Both the media and the public use video recordings as irrevocable “truth” when both interpreting and subsequently discussing incidents involving your public employees. Plus, the ubiquity of video capturing devices ensures this will not change and perhaps become more prevalent. As risk managers, leaders have an imperative to both understand and manage video evidence in order to answer this critical question: Is the presence of a video the best evidence of what happened? Law enforcement administrators need to understand the answer will vary from case to case and how to evaluate both the perspective of the camera and the nature of the video itself. This presentation will provide an overview of the use of video in two contexts: understanding an incident that has already occurred and determining root causational factors and using video for training and evaluation of current policies and procedures.

PRESENTER: Chief (ret.) Michael Ranalli, Lexipol
