What the policy was before this change was introduced was that MPD officers were specifically required to activate their body worn cameras prior to interacting with an individual who reported an incident, a victim, suspect or witness – as well as activating those cameras upon dispatch and actions taken in a law enforcement capacity.
But, before this new policy was launched, officers could switch the body worn cameras off during instances such as internal interactions while at the scene of an incident.
However, that will no longer be an option.
Great. Body cams generally work to the advantage of police. The "Defund" Crowd should be required to watch 5 days worth.
