Police

Violent police encounters and police officer involved shootings have dominated the national press for some time.  Such encounters have led to mass protests; much-needed examinations of police policies, procedures and training; and pleas for better relations between the police and the communities they serve.  One result has been the call for body worn video cameras that record encounters between police and citizens in real time.  While not perfect, these body worn cameras can provide valuable evidence of what transpired at a given moment during what may have been a high stress encounter.
