Dr. White and Dr. Malm shared important takeaways and surprising findings from their report on BWC policy surrounding topics such as activation, officer authority to review BWC footage, supervisory review authority, off-duty assignments, activation during public demonstrations, temporary deactivation (and muting of audio), and how departments handle video release requests.
