Activates the BWC, prior to making contact, in any of the following incidents, unless it is unsafe or impractical to do so: Note: Upon activation, the BWC will be in recording mode [See Definition]. The BWC will respond with an audible “recording” and a red light will continuously flash while recording. a. all calls for service, b. self-initiated activities, including: (1) VTLstops, (2) vehiclepursuits, (3) fieldstops, (4) or any other investigative or enforcement encounters, Note: Members will activate the BWC prior to initiating any of the above listed self-initiated activities. c. requests for consent to search without a warrant, including searches of persons, buildings, or vehicles, Note: When practical, bookmark [See Definition] the request for consent and the consent for the incidents specified above. d. seizure of evidence, e. advisement of Miranda rights, when required, f. statements made by individuals (subjects and witness) in the course of an investigation or complaint, g. civilian and arrestee transports, h. any other contact that becomes adversarial after the initial contact in a situation that would not otherwise require recording.

Once the BWC has been activated, continues recording until the event that prompted the activation has concluded, except in situations in which continued recording: a. Note: b. c. Note: Note: Note: may jeopardize or otherwise compromise the safety of the member(s) or the public, For example, when at the scene of a bomb, suspected bomb, or suspicious package, members will refrain from using electronic devices, including BWCs, radios, mobile data terminals (MDTs) and cell phones, when within 300 feet of a suspected bomb location. [See OPS 12111, Bomb and Bomb Threats] hinders the ability to conduct a proper investigation, seriously compromises an individual’s privacy and dignity and that compromise significantly outweighs any legitimate law enforcement interest. Such situations might involve recording in: (1) hospitals or clinical settings when no crime has been committed, (2) housesofworship, (3) shelters, (4) government offices. Members will continue to record or reactivate recording regardless of the location, whenever the evidentiary value of the recording outweighs a right to privacy and/or dignity. For example, if during the transport of a mental aided person a recording has been deactivated due to entering a hospital, member will reactivate recording if the mental aided person becomes confrontational. Members are not obligated to initiate or cease recording an incident solely at the request of the individual with whom the member is interacting. Consideration may be given to recording only audio. Members may also consider switching the BWC to covert mode [See Definition], which turns off all sounds and covers indicator lights for the purpose of not overtly indicating that a recording is in progress. 5. Will not use BWC video for confirmatory identifications (show- ups). Note: Show-ups must be done in person, and not by a witness viewing a BWC video of the suspect. 6.

Supervisor 7. Deactivates recording upon completion of the incident. 8. Categorizes [See Definition] the recording. 9. Indicates on any reports prepared, the existence of BWC footage. Note: For example, case reports, use of force reports, arrest reports, etc. 10. If the incident will be a squad case, notifies the Detective Squad of the existence of BWC footage where the subject has asked for an attorney. 11. If, during the course of the tour, the BWC malfunctions or if the BWC was unintentionally activated and a prohibited recording occurred, a. reports to a supervisor immediately, b. proceeds per supervisor’s instructions, c. makes a memo book entry. Note: If the BWC was unintentionally activated but the recording is not prohibitive and is of no evidentiary value, the member is not required to notify a supervisor. The member must, however, make a memo book entry documenting the unintentional recording. 12. Makes a memo book entry regarding the BWC in the following circumstances: a. if assigned to a call but given a disregard by the other responding unit prior to arrival, b. if assigned to a call and a recording is made, c. if not assigned to a call but responds as backup and a recording is made. Note: If assigned to a call but given a disregard by another unit and CB exchanges the call to that unit, no memo book entry is necessary. 13. If the BWC was not activated during a required activation law enforcement event, notifies a supervisor as soon as practical. 17. Responds to station house or other designated location to upload stored recordings from previous or current tour, at some point during each tour, whenever practical, or as directed by a superior officer. 18.

Arrest Processing and Sharing of BWC Videos 1. Assures all BWC recordings are properly categorized. 2. If the case involves an arrest, identifies all BWC videos associated with the arrest an if known, any other pertinent BWC video from previous incidents that can enhance the arrest case. Note: When the arresting/assigned officer and/or /BWC Unit become aware of any pertinent BWC video that is associated with their arrest case (e.g., BWC video containing suspect information, complainant/victim/witness statements, or are of any investigative value in regard to the establishment of probable cause, etc.), regardless of when the video was recorded, will ensure that those BWC video files are properly identified. Accessing and Viewing Footage 1. May review his/her own BWC recording, or the BWC recordings made by other (uniformed) members of the Department for a given incident, for official purposes, including: a. conducting a criminal investigation, b. preparing for courtroom testimony or courtroom presentation, c. providing testimony pursuant to an administrative inquiry, d. reviewing an incident prior to writing a routine report, e. training and professional development, f. preparing for civil litigation. Note: In routine cases, the viewing will be utilized as a tool when completing written reports to ensure the accuracy and consistency of events. In officer-involved shootings, use of force cases, or when a (uniformed) member of the Department is the subject of an official Department investigation or is a witness in an official Department investigation, access to recordings may be delayed. However, officers will be permitted to review recordings at a time allowed by the supervisor in charge of the investigation prior to making a statement or report.
