7
00:01:16.543 --> 00:01:27.253
ORDER FOR A HEARING TO EXAMINE THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PROTOCOLS FOR RELEASING POLICE BODY CAMERA AND DASH DASHBOARD CAMERA FOOTAGE. THIS MATTER WAS SPONSORED BY

8
00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:37.730
COUNCILOR CULPEPER AND BRIAN MORROW AND WAS REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON MARCH 25TH, 2026. TODAY I AM JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUES IN ORDER OF ARRIVAL . COUNCILOR CULPEPER AND

9
00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:51.010
COUNCILOR FITZGERALD. I WOULD NOW LIKE TO GIVE UM THE OPPORTUNITY TO MY COLLEAGUES TO GIVE OPENING STATEMENTS. I'LL INTRODUCE TODAY'S PANELIST UM AND WE'LL GO INTO QUESTIONS. SO COUNCILOR CULPEPER, YOU HAVE

10
00:01:51.010 --> 00:02:01.821
THE FLOOR. GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU, CHAIR SANTANA. THANK YOU TO MY CO-SPONSOR CONSTABLE REALM.

11
00:02:01.821 --> 00:02:15.335
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FOR. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER AND FOR THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

12
00:02:15.335 --> 00:02:28.381
UH, AND GOOD TO SEE YOU, COMMISSIONER. GLAD THAT WE CAN HAVE THIS CONVERSATION. MY OPINION IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE. UM. >> SOMETIME AGO BOSTON MADE THE

13
00:02:28.381 --> 00:02:40.093
INVESTMENT IN BODY WORN CAMERAS AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE DONE SO FOR THE RIGHT REASONS TO STRENGTHEN ACCOUNTABILITY, TO BUILD TRUST AND TO CREATE A CLEAR RECORD OF INTERACTIONS

14
00:02:40.093 --> 00:02:52.338
BETWEEN OFFICERS AND THE PUBLIC . WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT IS STRONG WHEN IT COMES TO RECORDING FOOTAGE, BUT FAR LESS CLEAR WHEN IT COMES TO RELEASING IT. UNDER STATE LAW, DECISIONS

15
00:02:52.338 --> 00:03:04.017
ABOUT WHETHER FOOTAGE IS RELEASED ARE LARGELY MADE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. AND THEN THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT RULE 45. THAT AUTHORITY IS WITH THE COMMISSIONER.

16
00:03:04.017 --> 00:03:15.862
AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS NO DEFINED TIME FOR RELEASING FOOTAGE AFTER CRITICAL INCIDENTS AND NO MANDATE THAT WOULD BE RELEASED TO OPEN EVEN UPON THE REQUEST.

17
00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:27.674
THERE'S NO PUBLIC FACING FRAMEWORK THAT EXPLAINS HOW THOSE DECISIONS ARE MADE AND THERE'S NO GUARANTEED ACCESS FOR OVERSIGHT BODIES AND OR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

18
00:03:27.674 --> 00:03:38.585
SO WHEN WE ARE LEFT WITH A SYSTEM WHERE TRANSPARENCY OFTEN DEPENDS ON DISCRETION RATHER THAN CLEAR POLICY THAT MATTERS . I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL

19
00:03:38.585 --> 00:03:50.430
SAY IT AGAIN WHEN FOOTAGE IS DELAYED OR WITHHELD, ESPECIALLY IN MOMENTS OF CRISIS IT CREATES CONFUSION, FRUSTRATION AND A LOSS OF TRUST IN THE VERY

20
00:03:50.430 --> 00:04:01.274
INSTITUTIONS WE ARE WORKING TO STRENGTHEN. I WILL END WITH THIS QUOTE FROM THEN BOSTON POLICE COMMISSIONER WILLIAM EVANS DISCUSSING RELEASE POLICY THE BODY WORN

21
00:04:01.274 --> 00:04:14.454
CAMERA FOOTAGE AFTER THE 2015 POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTING DEATH OF ANGELO WEST. THIS IS WHAT COMMISSIONER EVANS SAID. CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. IT CAN'T HAPPEN WHEN THINGS

22
00:04:14.454 --> 00:04:26.499
OF THE AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT WHEN THINGS ARE BAD TO AND SO COMMISSIONER.

23
00:04:26.499 --> 00:04:38.645
WHEN COMMISSIONER EVANS MADE THAT STATEMENT THAT WAS WHEN ANGELO WEST WAS INVOLVED IN THAT POLICE INVOLVED SHOOT I THINK ANGELO WAS UH SHOT AND

24
00:04:38.645 --> 00:04:49.922
KILLED AT THAT TIME. BUT MY POINT AND I GUESS THE POINT I'M COMMISSIONER EVANS IS UH YOU CAN'T RELEASE THE VIDEO WITH POLICE INVOLVED SHOOTINGS

25
00:04:49.922 --> 00:05:01.901
WHEN IT SHOWS THAT A POLICE OFFICER ACTED, UH, APPROPRIATE OR AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT WHEN THINGS WILL SHOW THAT THEY DIDN'T. UH, AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT 4

26
00:05:01.901 --> 00:05:15.682
OR 5 AND THE RELEASE BUT AGAIN THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILOR CULPEPER. COUNCILOR FITZGERALD, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU. >> CHAIR. UH, NO. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE FOR AGREEING TO COME IN. UH, IT'S IMPORTANT THING REALLY.

39
00:07:36.289 --> 00:07:47.333
REPRESENTATIVE SHALL DIRECT AND CONTROL THE INVESTIGATION OF THE DEATH AND IT SHALL COORDINATE WITH THE OFFICE OF THE MEDICAL EXAMINER AND THE

40
00:07:47.333 --> 00:08:00.646
POLICE DEPARTMENT. THAT'S WHOSE JURISDICTION THE DEATH OCCURRED. AND SO. FROM CHAPTER 38. UM. >> THAT GIVES THE DISTRICT

41
00:08:00.646 --> 00:08:12.658
ATTORNEY THE AUTHORITY. TO DIRECT AND CONTROL THE INVESTIGATIONS AND HE COORDINATES WITH YOU, ISN'T THAT CORRECT? I THINK THAT'S CORRECT. IT'S JUST IN ANY INVESTIGATION

42
00:08:12.658 --> 00:08:24.904
IT HAS TO BE A LEAD THAT CERTAINLY THE PROSECUTED OF THE YEAR TO LEAVE UH, FOR THE COMMONWEALTH POLICE IN SUFFOLK COUNTY ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION. SO WE'RE PART OF A CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. HE'S THE LEAD.

43
00:08:24.904 --> 00:08:35.581
>> ON HOMICIDE CASES. I WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH HIM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN PROSECUTE CASES, BUT THEY CAN ONLY BE ONE LEAD. RIGHT. BUT YOU'RE COORDINATING WITH HIM THEN WHETHER HE'S THE LEAD

46
00:09:01.841 --> 00:09:13.753
HIS DOING. HIS JOB AS A PROSECUTOR. AS PART OF A TEAM. YES. >> RIGHT HERE. HE IS THE LEAD BECAUSE HE HAS THE AUTHORITY. AND UNDER FOUR FIVE IS THAT

50
00:09:53.326 --> 00:10:06.672
OF THAT IF. THERE'S ANOTHER AGENCY. >> IN CONTROL OF AN INVESTIGATION THAT'S A. REFERENCE TO 38 FOR UM THEY WOULD DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT SOMEBODY COULD. REVIEW THE BODY. >> SO THERE ARE REFERENCES TO IT.

51
00:10:06.672 --> 00:10:18.584
UM BUT IT'S A PRETTY EXPANSIVE BUT I DIDN'T. >> SEE ANY REFERENCES IN 4 OR 5 TO. CHAPTER 38. AND MY QUESTION IS CHAPTER 38 IS THE BOSTON POLICE

52
00:10:18.584 --> 00:10:34.867
DEPARTMENT'S RULE THAT THEY CREATED INDEPENDENT UH CHAPTER 38. YES, SIR. AND. >> 45 IS UH LIST THAT THE THE

53
00:10:34.867 --> 00:10:45.478
COMMISSIONERS RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY WITHIN UH DEALING WITH BODY CAMERAS THAT'S THE POLICY THAT DEALS WITH THE BODY

54
00:10:45.478 --> 00:10:59.492
CAMS. ARE YOU ASKING ABOUT OUR INTERNAL REGULATION FIVE RIGHT. YES. AND AND 4 OR 5. THERE'S NO TIMELINE FOR

55
00:10:59.492 --> 00:11:15.441
RELEASING BODY CAM FOOTAGE, IS THERE? THERE IS. >> NOT THERE'S NOT. UM. >> WHEN AN INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING. UM. >> THE DECISION WHETHER A BODY CAM WAS RELEASED TONIGHT IS

00:11:15.441 --> 00:11:28.054
DETERMINED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. ON REQUEST. THEY'RE ALL DETERMINED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. YES, SIR. WELL, IN THE COUNTY IT IS TO. >> GO BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS QUESTION. YEAH. >> COUNCILOR CULPEPPER, JUST ON

57
00:11:28.054 --> 00:11:38.698
THE POINT OF WHEN THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE IS RELEASED. SECTION 8.2 OF THE RULE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS AND NOTES THAT PUBLIC INFORMATION

58
00:11:38.698 --> 00:11:49.608
REQUESTS SUBMITTED UNDER MASS GENERAL LAW CHAPTER 66, SECTION TEN, WHICH IS THE STATE PUBLIC RECORDS STATUTE UH WILL BE COMPLIED WITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS SO IT TIES

59
00:11:49.608 --> 00:12:01.921
DIRECTLY TO THE RELEASE OF BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE UPON REQUEST TO THE STATE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW AS TO WHAT CAN I. UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND. UH BUT I WANT LET'S LET'S TURN

60
00:12:01.921 --> 00:12:11.931
TO 6.2 SINCE WE'RE LOOKING AT FOUR FIVE UNDER 6.26.2 DEALS WITH UM AN OFFICER INVOLVED

61
00:12:11.931 --> 00:12:24.844
EITHER DISCHARGE OF A WEAPON UH ,AN OFFICER THAT MAY HAVE WITNESSED AN INCIDENT, UH, OR AN OFFICER WHO WAS INVOLVED IN

62
00:12:24.844 --> 00:12:36.222
AN INCIDENT. THAT'S CORRECT. COMMISSIONER. NOW WHO'S ANSWERING THE COMMISSIONER OR ATTORNEY OF BOTH OF YOU. SO WHEN WE COME TO THE HEARINGS WE BRING OUR YOU KNOW,

63
00:12:36.222 --> 00:12:49.001
BASICALLY, UH, THE AUTHORITIES IN IN THE ER IN ANY AREAS WHICH YOU MIGHT ASK QUESTIONS TO HELP ASSIST ME, SIR. >> I MEAN YOUR LAWYER. NO THAT'S RIGHT. LOOK SO DAVE IS CERTAINLY. >> HE CAN YEAH HE CAN.

64
00:12:49.001 --> 00:12:59.879
MR CHIEF UH, IS OUR UM YOU KNOW CERTAINLY OUR UH COUNCILOR UH, NICOLE IS MY CHIEF OF STAFF AND PAUL MCGRATH IS THE SUPERINTENDENT IN CHARGE OF BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES.

65
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:13.759
AND SO, UM, I WILL SAY THIS FOR THE PUBLIC THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS DEPARTMENT HEADS THAT ACTUALLY RUN. >> THE. DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES AND I'M OVERALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE. SO TONY RESTS WITH YOU. YEAH.

66
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:25.571
BUT THOSE ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS RIGHT. BUT EVEN. WITH REGARD TO BODY CAMS, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO EITHER RELEASE IT OR NOT TO RELEASE IT. YES.

67
00:13:25.571 --> 00:13:37.650
>> AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT 6.2 IT DEALS WITH OFFICER ACCESS TO FOOTAGE FOLLOWING AN OFFICER INVOLVED DEATH, OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING OR THE USE

68
00:13:37.650 --> 00:13:48.694
OF DEADLY FORCE. AND THE 6.2. SO WHAT'S THE QUESTION? THAT'S WHAT IT DEALS WITH DEALS WITH OFFICER-INVOLVED DEATHS

69
00:13:48.694 --> 00:14:01.774
OFTEN ABOUT SHOOTINGS OR INVOLVE INVOLVES OFFICERS USE OF. DEADLY FORCE. YES REFERS TO THE ACCESS TO. THE RIGHT YES AND.

70
00:14:01.774 --> 00:14:13.152
IF WE MOVE DOWN TO THE THIRD PARAGRAPH IT TALKS ABOUT. UH HOW THE BODY WORN FOOTAGE IS

71
00:14:13.152 --> 00:14:27.132
ALLOWED FOR THE OFFICER TO TO EITHER REVIEW IT OR TO REVIEW IT WITH HIS ATTORNEY. THE THIRD PARAGRAPH. YEAH. >> AT THE REQUEST OF ATTORNEYS THE OFFICERS ATTORNEY MAY BE PRESENT WHEN THE OFFICER VIEWS

72
00:14:27.132 --> 00:14:40.379
THE VIDEO. MR COMMISSIONER. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU REFERRING TO WITNESSES AT THE TIME DETERMINED BY THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE INVESTIGATION OFFICERS WHO WERE ONE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT TO DISCHARGE THEIR WEAPON OR

73
00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:50.689
THREE. WITNESS THE INCIDENT MAY VIEW THEIR OWN. VIEW I. MEAN VIDEO BEFORE GIVING A STATEMENT. RIGHT OFFICER'S REQUEST THE OFFICER'S ATTORNEY. MAY BE PRESENT. WHEN THE OFFICER.

74
00:14:50.689 --> 00:14:59.231
VIEWS THE VIDEO. ALL RIGHT SO SO MY QUESTION IS THE OFFICER CAN COME IN AND REVIEW THE BODY WORN FOOTAGE

75
00:14:59.231 --> 00:15:12.144
AFTER WHETHER THERE'S A DEATH INVOLVED OR NOT A DEATH INVOLVED EITHER WAY THE OFFICER CAN COME IN AND REVIEW THE FOOTAGE OF THE BODY. CAM AS DETERMINED BY THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE OF AN

76
00:15:12.144 --> 00:15:24.023
INVESTIGATION AT THE TIME. OR YOUR DESIGNEE. AS DETERMINED BY THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION AT THE TIME. WELL, THE SUPERVISOR IS YOUR DESIGNEE.

77
00:15:24.023 --> 00:15:37.836
MY QUESTION IS THE OFFICER CAN COME IN, REVIEW THE VIDEO AND I CORRECT WHEN IF THE SUPERVISOR SAYS HE CAN. COME YES. >> THERE HE GOES AND. HE CAN BRING HIS ATTORNEY WITH HIM. ALSO HEAR IF THE SUPERVISOR

78
00:15:37.836 --> 00:15:51.283
SAYS THAT HE CAN BRING HIS ATTORNEY. INVOLVED IN ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS. >> THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS. THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY MAY BE PRESENT WHEN THE OFFICER VIEWS THE VIDEO. MY QUESTION IS THE OFFICER CAN

79
00:15:51.283 --> 00:16:04.797
ALSO BRING HIS ATTORNEY IN. IT'S PRIVATE ATTORNEY TO. YOU IF. >> UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. IT'S IF THE. SUPERVISOR IF. IT'S DEEMED APPROPRIATE. IF I FIND A. SUPERVISOR INVESTIGATE A

80
00:16:04.797 --> 00:16:16.408

82
00:16:33.192 --> 00:16:44.503
THE BODY CAMERA AND DASHBOARD CAMERA FOOTAGE IN TOTAL I THINK, UH, REVEREND CULPEPER IS GOING TO DO A GREAT JOB AT GETTING THE BILL THAT I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE SORT OF A A LARGER SPECTRUM. UH, SO FOLKS UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS.

83
00:16:44.503 --> 00:16:55.647
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR BODY CAMS AND DASH CAMS, WHEN IS A POLICE OFFICER TURN THEM ON, TURN THEM OFF? UH, WHEN WHEN WHEN THEY GIVE THEM BACK. UH, AT THE END OF THE SHIFT.

84
00:16:55.647 --> 00:17:07.359
WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE CAMERAS? UH, HOW ARE THEY CHARGE. HOW LONG IS THAT TAKE? JUST SORT OF THE BASIC PROTOCOLS UH, PRIOR TO ANYTHING BEING RELEASED. SO I DON'T BELIEVE CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE ANY DASH CAMERAS.

85
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:18.270
OKAY. >> IN THE APARTMENT SO CERTAINLY WITH BODY CAMERA THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE UM CERTAINLY THEY'RE SUPPOSE THAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY COME TO. WORK POLICE. PATROL OFFICERS UH WHEN THEY GO

86
00:17:18.270 --> 00:17:29.148
TO CALLS THEY MUST TURN THEM ON UH, UPON RECEIVING THE CALL WHILE DRIVING THEY'RE. OKAY AND THEY REMAIN ON UNTIL THE THEY ARE FINISHED WITH THE. ACTIVITY OR THE CALL ALSO THEY

87
00:17:29.148 --> 00:17:42.127
WOULD TURN THEM ON IF UH, THEY ENCOUNTER ANY TYPE. >> OF POLICE THAT'S AN. IN THEIR CALENDAR. CERTAINLY THEIR. POLICE POWERS ARE. BEING USED. UH AROUND THAT AGAIN. WITH TO KEEP IT ON UNTIL THE END OF THE.

88
00:17:42.127 --> 00:17:57.876
INTERACTION UH WHEN THEY'RE. ACTUALLY LEAVING UH. >> THE AREA UH, AT. >> THE END OF THE DAY THAT. THEY'RE BODY WORN CAMERAS ARE DOCKED AND. >> THE. INFORMATION FOR THOSE CAMERAS ARE. UPLOADED. >> UH, INTO OUR UH, SYSTEM WHERE THAT INFORMATION IS KEPT

89
00:17:57.876 --> 00:18:09.254
UH, IN THE OFFICER'S TAG THAT. INFORMATION WITH UH. WITH THE NUMBER OF INCIDENT NUMBER, UH, SO THAT THEY CAN UH. REFERENCE IT FOR FUTURE. AND THAT THAT STAYS PERMANENTLY UH, IT'S NOT A YOU KNOW, AFTER

90
00:18:09.254 --> 00:18:21.800
30 DAYS OR AFTER YOU LIKE SOME THINGS THAT THERE'S NO IS THERE A DELETE TIMELINE OR ANYTHING ON ANYTHING? THERE IS A RETENTION SCHEDULE. >> IN RULE. 405 COUNCIL. GREAT. SO AND UM IT WOULD UH DELETE AUTOMATICALLY. >> I THINK.

91
00:18:21.800 --> 00:18:33.045
>> THE THE THE SHORTEST TIMELINE IS A YEAR AND WE FOLLOW THE STATE GUIDELINES FOR THE RETENTION OF VIDEO IN THAT UM AND EVERY OFFICER EVERY PATROL OFFICER HAS TWO CAMERAS .

92
00:18:33.045 --> 00:18:44.323
UM EARLY ON ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS THE BATTERY LIFE OF THESE CAMERAS AND A LOT OF TIMES THESE OFFICERS ARE ORDERED TO WORK A SECOND AND OVERTIME SHIFT AND THE BATTERY LIFE WASN'T LONG ENOUGH. SO NOW UH, THE BATTERY LIFE

93
00:18:44.323 --> 00:18:54.900
SEVEN TWO BUT THEY ALSO HAVE TWO CAMERAS. UM, SO ONE CAN BE CHARGING WHILE UH, THEY HAVE THE OTHER ONE ON WHILE THEY WORK. AND SO DOES IT DEPENDS HOW IT IS TAGGED IN TERMS OF THE THE DELETION DEADLINE.

94
00:18:54.900 --> 00:19:05.844
UH I MEAN THERE ARE CERTAIN AND HOW IS THAT DECIDED WHAT STAYS PERMANENT AND WHAT SAYS AFTER A YEAR UH IS THERE ANY I JUST THAT WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL OF SAYING OH THIS INCIDENT OR THIS THIS VIDEO SPECIFICALLY

95
00:19:05.844 --> 00:19:15.954
NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY CAN BE GONE IN A YEAR OR THIS ONE UH, YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON X UH IS WHY IT'LL BE STAYED UH, PERMANENTLY. I THINK YOU BACK TO THE QUESTION LIKE IT'S WHAT TYPE

96
00:19:15.954 --> 00:19:28.300
OF CALL IT IS UM, FOR INSTANCE IF THERE'S AN ARREST IF THERE'S NOT AN ARREST OKAY. UM, AND UM, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S IF IT'S A FELONY THERE'S DIFFERENT CATEGORIES IT FALLS IN FOR THE RETENTION. UM, I THINK IF IT'S A FELONY

97
00:19:28.300 --> 00:19:40.846
ARREST IT'S ACTUALLY KEPT INDEFINITELY OKAY UNTIL MANUALLY DELETED. THE OTHERS ARE ON MORE OF A RETENTION SCHEDULE. AWESOME IF IT'S HELPFUL COUNSELOR. >> IN THE ROLE SPECIFICALLY SECTION NINE LAYS OUT THE FROM ONE YEAR TO INDEFINITE AND THE

98
00:19:40.846 --> 00:19:52.891
SPECIFIC CATEGORIES OF INCIDENT THAT FALL WITHIN THOSE GREAT. ALL RIGHT SO IF I IF I IF I WANT TO LOOK UP DETAILED I CAN CHECK THAT OUT AND WHAT RULE IS THAT. RULE 405 RULE FOR FINE. YEP AWESOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WON'T

99
00:19:52.891 --> 00:20:03.969
NEED THE REMAINING PART OF MY TIME. UH, I'LL, UH, YIELD THAT BACK BUT THANK YOU CHAIR. AND AGAIN THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING IN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FITZGERALD. COUNCILMAN LOUIJEUNE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU AND THANKS AGAIN FOR

100
00:20:03.969 --> 00:20:16.215
COMING HERE. UM, I WANTED TO UM UH, SEVERAL DIFFERENT THREADS THAT I WANT TO UH, SORT OF EXPLORE. UM, JUST A POLICY OF BEING ABLE

101
00:20:16.215 --> 00:20:26.892
TO REVIEW BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE IN GENERAL. UM, WHAT UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES? SO, UM, LET ME NOT DO THAT. LET ME JUST, UM WE WOULD IT SAYS IF AN OBSERVER REQUESTS

102
00:20:26.892 --> 00:20:38.103
ACCESS TO FOOTAGE BE MADE AVAILABLE, UH, OFFICER ACCESS TO THEIR OWN FOOTAGE. OFFICERS MAY REVIEW THEIR OWN BWC RECORDING WHEN THEY ARE INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPLETING AN INVESTIGATION AND PREPARING OFFICIAL REPORTS.

103
00:20:38.103 --> 00:20:48.513
SO THERE ARE TIMES LIKE IF THEY'RE WRITING A POLICE REPORT, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THEY CAN REVIEW, UH, BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE BEFORE THEY COMPLETE THAT POLICE REPORT. HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT A

104
00:20:48.513 --> 00:21:02.127
SITUATION WHERE, UM I'M I'M SURE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STUDIES DONE BECAUSE I THINK THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULD WANT TO DO SOME STUDIES HERE WHERE YOU HAVE A CONTROL GROUP AND A NON CONTROL GROUP. UM. >> WHERE YOU LOOK AT WHAT DOES THAT POLICE REPORT LOOK LIKE IN

105
00:21:02.127 --> 00:21:14.006
THE SITUATION WHERE THE OFFICER DID NOT REVIEW THE FOOTAGE AND WHAT DOES THE POLICE REPORT LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY REVIEW THE FOOTAGE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY SORT OF STUDIES TO LOOK AT WHAT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT THE

106
00:21:14.006 --> 00:21:26.685
REPORTS LOOK LIKE? SO I I'M NOT FAMILIAR. WITH WHAT. YOU KNOW, STUDY WHERE IT SHOWS WHAT THE WOULD LOOK LIKE VERSUS WHAT. IT WOULDN'T. UH THERE IS SOME RESEARCH OR UH ON PARTICULARLY TO. >> I THINK POLICE.

107
00:21:26.685 --> 00:21:38.597
REPORT UM. THE EXECUTIVE PERF. YEAH THE. RESEARCH FORUM I'M SORRY. UH, WHERE HAVE THEY. LOOKED AT. ACTUALLY HAVING OFFICERS WRITE POLICE REPORTS. AND THEN.

108
00:21:38.597 --> 00:21:50.442
UM, ACTUALLY HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE. TO SEE IF. THAT'S SORT OF WHAT I'M GETTING TO TO. TO TO DO THAT AND UM. YES THAT THERE ARE SOME SOME STUDIES OR RESEARCH AROUND THAT PARTICULAR AREA.

109
00:21:50.442 --> 00:22:02.721
AND WHAT DO THOSE STUDIES SHOW? I MEAN IT'S. DIFFERENT THEORIES. AROUND IT UH, WHERE YOU KNOW, UH, ONE THING THAT I DON'T KNOW. PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. FROM TIME TO TIME THAT UM, YOU

110
00:22:02.721 --> 00:22:17.469
KNOW, DEPENDING ON THE TRAUMA INVOLVED AND. >> WHAT HAVE YOU THAT YOUR. MEMORY SOMETIMES IS IMPACTED, RIGHT? >> THAT'S WHY EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY IS OFTEN DEEMED TO NOT BE THE MOST RELIABLE FORM. OF CERTAINLY THERE'S YOU. KNOW. >> THERE'S A. POLICE OFFICER OR NOT. >> IT.

111
00:22:17.469 --> 00:22:29.381
DOESN'T MATTER TO HUMANS. RIGHT EXACTLY. WE HIRE FROM THE HUMAN RACE THAT APPLIES TO EVERYBODY. >> WHICH I. TRY TO EMPHASIZE ALL THE TIME. YES. UM YES. THAT YOU KNOW. YOU CAN'T BE. IMPACTED BY TRAUMA WITH YOUR MEMORY AND THINGS OF THAT

112
00:22:29.381 --> 00:22:40.892
NATURE WHERE. UH, VIDEO RECORDING RECORDS. >> WHAT IT RECORDS. YEAH. >> UM, JUST JUST BE ON THE RECORD. I DON'T I'M NOT A FAN OF THIS POLICY THAT ALLOWS FOR A REVIEW OF THE FOOTAGE PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE POLICE REPORT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S

113
00:22:40.892 --> 00:22:52.337
IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW HOW TO WORK OUT WHAT BIASES OR WHAT ISSUES WE NEED TO WORK ON IF PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO PEOPLE NOT. OFFICERS BE ABLE TO REVIEW A VIDEO TO JOG THEIR MEMORY

114
00:22:52.337 --> 00:23:03.615
OF WHAT HAPPENED. UM, AND SO I JUST WANTED TO TO STATE THAT IT'S NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS ISSUE BUT UM I THINK IT'S UM.

115
00:23:03.615 --> 00:23:17.162
WE'VE YOU KNOW, OFTENTIMES POLICE REPORTS ARE TREATED AS, YOU KNOW, TRUTH AND I UNDERSTAND HOW REVIEWING OF THE BODY CAMERA COULD HELP TO GET TO THAT TRUTH. UM. >> BUT ALLOWING FOR POLICE

116
00:23:17.162 --> 00:23:27.773
REPORTS THAT ARE JUST BASED ON MEMORY CAN HELP US BOTH EXPOSE ISSUES, UM, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW WE REMEMBER AND HOW WE ACCEPT CERTAIN AUTHORITY OR NOT

117
00:23:27.773 --> 00:23:41.820
UM, LIKE WHO IS WHO IS THE TRUTH TELLING THE SITUATION AND DEPENDING ON THAT CAMERA UH TO GET THERE I THINK. UH. >> YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF A LEVEL OF UNFAIRNESS IN IT IF I DON'T KNOW IF I'M MAKING SENSE BUT IT HAS LIKE A LEVEL

118
00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:51.730
OF INTENT, ISN'T IT? THAT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. I WOULD PROBABLY ADD THAT, UM. YOU KNOW, HUMAN MEMORY AND. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. IT'S A WHOLE NOTHER RESEARCH AREA.

119
00:23:51.730 --> 00:24:05.610
UH, BUT THE FACT IS IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU KNOW, IS THE OFFICER TELLING THE TRUTH. IF THEY MAKE REFERENCE. >> TO IT BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH. PEOPLE PEOPLE ARE MAKING WITNESS STATEMENTS, UM. YOU KNOW, UH, THEY. >> MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO NOTE

120
00:24:05.610 --> 00:24:17.022
DOWN. >> ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE THERE. SO REVIEWING IT ACTUALLY HELPS THEM. YOU KNOW, PORTRAY AN ACCURATE DEPICTION OF WHAT SOMEONE. SAID. >> WHAT HAPPENED. THE EVENTS THAT OCCURRED. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POLICE OFFICER.

121
00:24:17.022 --> 00:24:30.302
IT JUST HAS TO DO WITH ALL THE STUFF GOING ON AROUND THEM AND PEOPLE WITNESS IT. SO IT'S FAIRLY. YOU KNOW, A. >> LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLEX ABOUT WHAT YOU CAPTURE IN. >> BODY VIDEO AND. THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT THE FACT IS UH YOU KNOW,

122
00:24:30.302 --> 00:24:43.882
OVERALL IT. >> IS PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, MORE HELPFUL THAN NOT NOT HAVING IT . >> OUT. THERE WHEN YOU'RE TOTALLY. RELYING ON TRYING TO. TAKE NOTES, TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT SOMEONE SAID, UM, YOU. KNOW, YOU COULD. >> BE. DISTRACTED WHEN PEOPLE. >> ARE TALKING.

123
00:24:43.882 --> 00:24:54.559
YEAH, IT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN PARTICULARLY WHEN EMOTIONS ARE. HIGH AND I HAVE TWO MORE MINUTES LEFT. I FORGOT THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS. BUT IT'S I'M I'M. ACTUALLY NOT DEBATING THE RELIABILITY OF THE I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GETTING AT.

124
00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:05.804
IT'S NOT THE RELIABILITY OF THE CAMERAS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I THINK THAT COULD BE HELPFUL IN THE WORK OF POLICING GENERALLY TO HAVE THOSE UM BEFORE AND AFTER POLICE REPORT. WHAT DOES THE POLICE REPORT LOOK LIKE BEFORE YOU REVIEW THE FOOTAGE? WHAT DOES A POLICE REPORT LOOK

125
00:25:05.804 --> 00:25:16.448
LIKE AFTER YOU VIEW THE FOOTAGE? I THINK IT CAN BE HELPFUL. YES. >> YES YOU MAY AS LONG AS IT GIVES ME MORE TIME. JUST JUST ADD TO THE THE UM SITUATION WHERE IN OUR RULE IT

126
00:25:16.448 --> 00:25:27.859
ADDRESSES THEIR ABILITY TO TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO UM BUT IN FATAL FATAL YES. THERE'S I UNDERSTOOD YEAH. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE POLICY IS THAT THEY DO NOT LOOK AT THE VIDEO.

127
00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:40.071
SO IN ANY TIME THAT SOMEONE IS FATALLY SHOT OR LIKELY TO DIE, THE DA'S OFFICE WOULD EXERT THEIR. DEATH INVESTIGATION, UH, AUTHORITY AND AND CHANGE THAT. SO YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT WE TEASED THAT AT THE END OF THE

128
00:25:40.071 --> 00:25:49.481
LAST HEARING AND MADE THAT CLEAR. BUT I DO APPRECIATE SORT OF REITERATING UM, THAT POINT UM, JUST A FEW UM, OTHER QUESTIONS THAT I HAD REGARDING

129
00:25:49.481 --> 00:26:01.893
THIS THIS POLICY UH, WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES CURRENTLY ALLOW OFFICERS TO ACT TO DEACTIVATE CAMERAS DURING AN ACTIVE SCENE ,VICTIM INTERVIEWS, HOSPITAL ENCOUNTERS, PRIVATE RESIDENCES OR ANY SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIONS .

130
00:26:01.893 --> 00:26:14.339
JUST THOSE EXCEPTIONS YOU JUST SAID WITHIN THE RULE, UM, IN SOMEONE'S HOME AND THEY ASKED FOR IT TO HAPPEN. UH. ALTHOUGH IF. IT'S A, YOU KNOW, HOSTILE SCENE THINGS OF THAT NATURE IT'S THE OFFICER'S DISCRETION TO KEEP IT

131
00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:25.717
ON. UM. >> BUT. CERTAINLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING INTO UH, HOSPITAL SETTINGS, UM ,YOU KNOW, UM, YOU KNOW, SETTINGS WHERE IT'S PROBABLY NOT APPROPRIATE TO HAVE IT ON

132
00:26:25.717 --> 00:26:36.628
WE HAVE IT, UM, YOU KNOW, CARVE OUTS FOR IT IN OUR. RULE SECTION 2.8 OF THE RULE LAYS OUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH AN OFFICER CAN DEACTIVATE THE CAMERA. AND THEN THERE'S ALSO A REQUIREMENT IF YOU DEACTIVATE

133
00:26:36.628 --> 00:26:47.939
THERE'S A REPORTING REQUIREMENT THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT TO EXPLAIN THE REASONING BEHIND IT. THANK YOU. UM. UH THE NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT UM, OPEN ACCESS.

134
00:26:47.939 --> 00:26:59.150
UM, ED HAS INDICATED THAT THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE ACCESS CAN BE LIMITED BECAUSE OF ONGOING CRIMINAL MATTERS. ARE THERE EVENTS THAT AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER OPEN REVIEW ACCESS AND SHOULD WE IF NOT IF SHOULD WE CONSIDER INDEPENDENT REVIEWING AUTHORITY

135
00:26:59.150 --> 00:27:12.063
DURING UH DURING CRITICAL INCIDENTS? THAT'S A THAT'S ALSO A QUESTION I THINK THAT SOME FOLKS HAVE BEEN ASKING IN IN IN MEDIA REPORTS. SO UM, YOU KNOW.

136
00:27:12.063 --> 00:27:27.278
>> TO SEE. >> OR SHOULD. WE DO. WE WANT TO WORK. YEAH. >> THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OVERSIGHT PANEL WHEN. >> THEY CERTAINLY REVIEW. UH OUR. OUR CASES THAT WE HAVE SEEN THEY.

137
00:27:27.278 --> 00:27:40.325
>> HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE ACCESS AND SO YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY HIGH PROFILE EVENTS, THINGS THAT NATURE. UH, THEY THEY WOULD ABSOLUTELY. >> YOU KNOW, HAVE ACCESS TO THAT THROUGH THAT UH PORTION OF IT. UH THE OTHER PORTION OF OPEN.

138
00:27:40.325 --> 00:27:53.004
IF IT'S A. CASE I DON'T. THINK BELIEVE UH. OUTSIDE OF. >> CASES THAT THEY'VE THAT THEY'VE. UH STARTED. UM YOU KNOW, UH. AND WORKED WITH US I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A MECHANISM TO. SHOW THEM.

139
00:27:53.004 --> 00:28:04.916
>> OTHER THAN REGULAR FOIA REQUESTS LIKE THE REGULAR WORLD. YEAH. >> IF IF PAT THROUGH THE CRB IS INVESTIGATING A COMPLAINT WHERE THERE IS BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE PRODUCTION OF THE FOOTAGE TO OPEN, IT FOLLOWS THE SAME CRITERIA AS TO WHETHER OR NOT

140
00:28:04.916 --> 00:28:16.494
IT WOULD IMPACT AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION OR FALL WITHIN ONE OF THE OTHER EXEMPTIONS SO THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIAL STATUS THAT GIVES THEM ACCESS TO FOOTAGE THAT WOULD DIFFER FROM IF A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC OR A MEMBER OF THIS BODY WERE

141
00:28:16.494 --> 00:28:28.306
TO INQUIRE. YEAH. >> AND THEN THE THE ENSUING QUESTION IS SHOULD THERE BE UH A SEPARATE LEVEL OF ACCESS THAT IS NOT SEPARATE FROM RIGHT THAT IS AS UH POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY OR SOME SORT OF INDEPENDENT AUTHORITY THAT HAS REVIEW

142
00:28:28.306 --> 00:28:40.118
POWERS IN A WAY THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PUBLIC. I KNOW WHAT YOUR ANSWER IS YES. BUT AND I'M. SO AS I MAY MENTIONED BEFORE. YOU KNOW PREVIOUS LIKE THIS ANOTHER SUBSECTION OF OPAC WHICH I. THINK IS IMPORTANT WHEN THEY

143
00:28:40.118 --> 00:28:52.497
REVIEW OUR. TERM THE FREEST WORK THEY HAVE TOTAL ACCESS TO WHAT WE. DO HOW WE DO IT VIDEO. >> THINGS OF THAT NATURE. UM PREVIOUS I AND TRY TO TELL IF IT'S A WHILE AGO BEFORE THIS VERSION OF OPAC WAS THERE.

144
00:28:52.497 --> 00:29:04.476
WE WEREN'T YOU KNOW. QUITE WELL WITH THAT REVIEW AND SO CERTAIN HIGH PROFILE CASES. YOU KNOW WHEN WE DID THEM WE WE LET THEM REVIEW THE WORK THAT WE DID AFTER THE FACT. UH AND IT WAS A YOU KNOW, I

145
00:29:04.476 --> 00:29:17.989
THOUGHT IT WAS QUITE PRODUCTIVE AND AND USUALLY. >> THEY. REVIEWED IT JUST AS THEY DO NOW TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS FAIR THOROUGH UH, INVESTIGATIONS, UH, THAT OCCURRED AND UH AND IT USUALLY WORKED QUITE WELL BACK THEN. OKAY.

146
00:29:17.989 --> 00:29:29.701
>> THANK YOU. UM, YOU ARE MOVING ON I DO I AM UH I'LL WAIT TILL I WAIT I WAIT FOR THE NEXT ROUND. IT'S FINE I KNOW, THANK YOU COUNCIL I'LL WAIT TILL THAT TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE COUNCILOR WEBER, WE HAVE THE

147
00:29:29.701 --> 00:29:40.211
FLOOR. WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILOR WEBER AS WELL. UM, OKAY. GREAT. SEVEN MINUTES. OKAY. >> IT WOULD BE STRANGE IF I WAS ASKING. QUESTIONS THAT I WASN'T HERE BUT UH UM OKAY, SO JUST IN TERMS OF LIKE THE RULES LIKE

148
00:29:40.211 --> 00:29:52.757
PROMULGATION PROCESS, LIKE YOU KNOW, HOW HOW DO YOU HOW DO THESE RULES GET DEVELOPED AND THEN I GUESS MY FOLLOW UP WOULD BE YOU KNOW, THIS RULE IN PARTICULAR, COMMISSIONER, WHEN YOU CAME ON AS A DID YOU REVISE

149
00:29:52.757 --> 00:30:08.640
THIS HAS IT HAS IT CHANGED? UM THE UM BODY WORN CAMERA RULE YEAH. SO YEAH WHEN YOU FOR 4 OR 5 UH AND. YEAH YEAH. SO IT. >> HAS BEEN UPDATED SINCE. YEAH.

150
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:22.287
>> UPDATED JANUARY 15TH. 2025 OKAY WHAT WHAT WHAT PARTS. WHICH PARTS NOW I CAN'T YOU KNOW. ANYTHING RELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION THAT I MEAN SO I, I

151
00:30:22.287 --> 00:30:33.097
ASSUME THE POLICE COMMISSIONER HAS TO SIGN OFF ON THE RULES OR SOME WAY I DON'T KNOW CHRISTY. SO A GENTLEMAN'S SECTION ONE. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. THIRD PARAGRAPH WAS ADDED. THAT SECTION 2.2 UH CAMERA.

152
00:30:33.097 --> 00:30:43.007
ACTIVATION AND INCIDENT USE. PARAGRAPH WAS. EDITED UH SECTION 2.8. BODY WORN CAMERA DEACTIVATION. UH BULLET NUMBER. FIVE IS NEW UH SECTION 2.9

153
00:30:43.007 --> 00:30:55.119
SPECIAL ACTIVATION FACTORS UH HAVE BEEN RETITLED AND BULLETED NUMBERS 12. >> TO 15 OUR NEW. SECTION 2.10. OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO FEDERAL TASK FORCE THAT'S A NEW SECTION.

154
00:30:55.119 --> 00:31:09.334
SECTION 3.1 OFFICER'S RESPONSIBILITY. >> THIRD PARAGRAPH IS NEW. SECTION FIVE SUPERVISES. RESPONSIBILITY AS A NEW. SECTION TITLE WITH. UNIT COMMANDERS BEING ADDED. UH SECTION 5.2. DISTRICT AND UNIT.

155
00:31:09.334 --> 00:31:19.878
COMMANDER OFFICERS. DESIGNEE LAST SENTENCE. IS NEW. COMMANDING OFFICER SHALL ENSURE THAT YOU. YEAH THAT'S IT. AND JUST FOR REFERENCE THAT LIST CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE.

156
00:31:19.878 --> 00:31:30.755
PLEASE STOP USING.GOV UNDER OUR RULES AND PROCEDURE SECTION. IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE BODY CAMERA RULE THE PROCEEDING ORDER WILL DELINEATE THE CHANGES. OKAY I. GUESS JUST SO THAT I MEAN THIS

157
00:31:30.755 --> 00:31:40.732
RULE IS IN PLACE BEFORE UH YOU KNOW GENERALLY IT'S BEEN REVISED BUT UM LIKE DOES THE DOES EVERY NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER AND I'M ALSO ASKING YOUR UH OTHER PEOPLE ON

158
00:31:40.732 --> 00:31:54.612
THE PANEL JUST TAKE A REVISE THE RULES OR AT LEAST HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. SO I WOULD SAY THIS. PROBABLY SHOULD LOOK AT IT TO REVIEW IT JUST TO MAKE SURE THE RULES ARE UP TO DATE. UM. >> THAT THEY'RE. >> NOT. OUTDATED IN SOME.

159
00:31:54.612 --> 00:32:08.526
>> WAY, PARTICULARLY IF YOU CHANGE ANY OF YOUR. PROTOCOLS AROUND IT OR. ANY ASPECT OF IT. YOU HAVE TO. REVISE THE RULE. OKAY. >> UM UH I GUESS.

160
00:32:08.526 --> 00:32:18.803
SO IN THAT LIKE 6.2 SECTION AND UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS AN INCIDENT OF AN OFFICER INVOLVED DEATH OR I CAN'T REMEMBER THE THE TERM THE WORDS.

161
00:32:18.803 --> 00:32:31.416
SO AGAIN LIKE WHAT IS THE REASON WHY THE OFFICER FIRE WHO DISCHARGES THEIR WEAPON SHOULD REVIEW THE FOOTAGE BEFORE MAKING.

162
00:32:31.416 --> 00:32:44.495
THEIR REPORT. WHY DIDN'T. YOU LIKE WHAT WHAT JUST YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT'S THE THERE WAS THE POLICY REASON WHY WE WANT THAT. SO IT'S. >> IN THE RULES THAT'S. WAS IN THERE FOR. CONTRACTUAL REASONS I WASN'T THE. COMMISSIONER WHEN THAT PORTION

163
00:32:44.495 --> 00:32:56.741
WAS PUT. IN SO SO THAT'S FROM COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. THAT'S PART. >> OF THAT SECTION ABOUT THEIR ACCESS TO IT. YES OKAY I MEAN TO ME THE I

164
00:32:56.741 --> 00:33:09.320
FEEL LIKE THE REASON WOULD BE THAT SOMEBODY IS POTENTIAL LIKE YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY CRIMINALLY LIABLE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW SORT OF LIKE GIVE THEM DUE PROCESS

165
00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:21.699
OR SOMETHING YOU KNOW BUT FROM SO THAT MIGHT BE A REASON THAT THAT TO ME THAT YOU KNOW MAYBE JUST BARGAINING BUT IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY MAY BE GOING TO PRISON SO YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY WANT TO

166
00:33:21.699 --> 00:33:35.279
HAVE BE REPRESENTED THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE PROCESS. UH, BUT. I CAN. SPECULATE BUT I WASN'T THERE FOR THE OKAY. >> WELL THE RULE SAYS THAT IT'S THE INVESTIGATOR IN. CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION. >> WILL MAKE THAT. DETERMINATION IF THERE'S A.

167
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:46.124
POSSIBILITY THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE A POLICE OFFICER IS GOING TO BE CRIMINALLY CHARGED, I THINK A CONVERSATION WOULD BE HAD AT THAT POINT OF WHETHER OR NOT THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE VIDEO BEFORE THEY MAKE A STATEMENT.

168
00:33:46.124 --> 00:33:57.969
UM, BUT THAT I JUST YET AGAIN SO THAT THAT'S BARGAINED AND THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT AND UH THAT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE JUST THAT'S WHY THAT'S IN THERE. IT'S PART OF IT'S PART.

169
00:33:57.969 --> 00:34:09.480
OF THE RULE MAKING. THE BARGAINING WITH THE UH, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNIT AS PART OF THE RULEMAKING PROCESS . OH, IT'S GOT ANY IMPACT ON THE EMPLOYEES. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO

170
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:22.160
BARGAIN. SO THAT'S ONE PART OF THE, UH, FORMULATION OF THE RULE IS OUR OBLIGATION TO SIT AND TALK WITH. >> THE UNIONS ABOUT. HOW CAN I CLARIFY? I JUST WANT TO MAKE. THIS CLEAR. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO BARGAIN. BUT THEY.

171
00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:35.807
>> YOU KNOW, WE WE DO MAKE THE. RULES FOR OUR OFFICERS. YEAH. >> WELL I MEAN. IF IT IMPACTS THEM. WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN OBLIGATION. TO BARGAIN. AROUND THAT. BUT UM. YOU KNOW, WE WE OWN THE.

172
00:34:35.807 --> 00:34:46.250
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE POLICE. >> OKAY. WELL ASIDE FROM THAT, IF IF I'M JUST MY GUESS IS I MEAN THERE ARE THERE MAY BE A FIFTH AMENDMENT ISSUE. THERE'S YOU KNOW, SOMETHING YOU KNOW, WITH SOMEBODY WRITING A

173
00:34:46.250 --> 00:34:57.862
STATEMENT THAT MIGHT GET, YOU KNOW, RESULT IN CRIMINAL CONVICTION BUT TO WHAT I DON'T THEN THE SECOND PART OF THAT OR THE THIRD SUBPART OF THAT IS

174
00:34:57.862 --> 00:35:10.942
THAT WITNESSES TO THE THE DISCHARGE. >> OF. THE SHOOTING ALSO GET TO REVIEW THE VIDEO BEFORE THAT I DON'T I DON'T GET THE JUSTIFICATION OTHER THAN I YOU KNOW, I DON'T

175
00:35:10.942 --> 00:35:20.818
SEE THE POLICY REASON FOR WHY WE'D WANT A WITNESS TO VIEW THE VIDEO BEFORE THEY MADE A STATEMENT. YOU MEAN WITNESS POLICE OFFICER. IT'S IF YOU LOOK AT THE RULE I THINK IT SAYS UH THE PEOPLE WHO

176
00:35:20.818 --> 00:35:31.229
CAN WHO CAN REVIEW THE VIDEO BEFORE ISSUING THEIR STATEMENT INCLUDES IT'S THREE IT'S LIKE ANYONE INVOLVED ANYONE WHO DISCHARGED THEIR WEAPON AND ANY

177
00:35:31.229 --> 00:35:45.243
WITNESS, UH. PRIOR TO MAY WITNESSED THE INCIDENT. YOU KNOW THE NUMBER THREE. UM, MAY MAY VIEW THEIR OWN

178
00:35:45.243 --> 00:35:57.788
VIDEO BEFORE GIVING A STATEMENT AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO LIKE JUST MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR WHY YOU'D . SAY WRONG. THEY DON'T GET TO VIEW THE OTHER ANYBODY ELSE THEY GET. TO JUST VIEW THEIR THEIR OWN. >> YEAH YEAH.

179
00:35:57.788 --> 00:36:10.902
THAT'S THAT'S YOU WAS SAYING SOMETHING THAT WAS. >> NOT. THERE OKAY. >> I. WAS. GOING. TO GET. >> ME THERE. >> I WAS LIKE OH MIKE WAS THAT. IN THERE. >> NO NO. BUT IT'S NOT THAT THEY VIEW THEIR OWN BUT I ALSO I DON'T. I THEY'RE THEY'RE. IF THEY'RE WITNESSING IT THEY'RE NOT THERE'S NOT THE

180
00:36:10.902 --> 00:36:22.947
SAME FIFTH AMENDMENT THERE'S NOT IMPLICATING THEIR OWN CRIMINAL LIABILITY IF THEY'RE JUST FOR. HAVING ACCESS THAT HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO SEE. IT AS TO REVIEW, YOU KNOW, THEIR. UH STATEMENTS. AND THINGS THAT THEY'VE.

181
00:36:22.947 --> 00:36:33.958
DONE. >> NOT THE CASES. OKAY. >> JUST LASTLY, BEFORE MY TIME RUNS OUT, DO ANY OF THESE RULES CONTEMPLATE LIKE THE A GRAND JURY INVOLVEMENT UM LIKE DID IN

182
00:36:33.958 --> 00:36:46.437
THIS YOU KNOW, IN THIS KING INCIDENT DID YOU LIKE WERE THE RULES THEY PROVIDE YOU ANY GUIDANCE FOR HOW TO HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS QUESTION OF WHAT DO WE DO DURING THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION?

183
00:36:46.437 --> 00:36:56.214
UM. IN WHICH WAY I DON'T. IN TERMS OF THE THERE IS SOME SORT OF CONFIDENTIALITY THAT COMES WITH THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION. THAT IS NOT YOUR POLICY.

184
00:36:56.214 --> 00:37:09.260
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOVERNED BY YOUR RULES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE CLEAR ARE YOU REFERRING TO. RELEASE OF BODY CAMERA? ARE YOU REFERRING TO. STATEMENTS OF OFFICERS? UH. >> I I WERE HERE TALKING ABOUT

185
00:37:09.260 --> 00:37:21.606
BODY CAMERA SO I'M TALKING ABOUT POLICE A BODY CAMERA I MEAN, DO THE RULES NEED AN UPDATE FOR TO THE RULES KIND OF PLAY A SITUATION WHERE THE YOU KNOW, AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING THE OFFICER WAS BEFORE

186
00:37:21.606 --> 00:37:35.753
THE GRAND JURY FOR THAT SHOOTING AT THE SCENE AT THE SAME TIME. SO IN THAT PARTICULAR. CASE PARTICULARLY IF IT'S UH, YOU KNOW. UH. >> AN INCIDENT CERTAINLY UH, WHERE THERE'S A DEATH INVOLVED THE OFFICER DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS OR WOULD NOT REVIEW.

187
00:37:35.753 --> 00:37:48.466
>> A BODY CAM FOOTAGE. I MEANT THE PUBLIC, UH. THE PUBLIC THE PUBLIC HAVING ACCESS. AND I'LL SAY. THIS AGAIN AND. THIS IS. YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY CLARIFIES THAT A LITTLE BIT. MORE. >> SO, UM.

188
00:37:48.466 --> 00:38:03.147
YOU KNOW, THE CRIMINAL. JUSTICE SYSTEM IS A PRETTY HIGH LEVEL OF ACCOUNTABILITY. WHEN WE'RE. >> ENFORCING LAWS. THAT THERE'S. NO HIGHER LEVEL. OF ACCOUNTABILITY. THERE IS. OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE. >> WHEN WE INVESTIGATE IT. IS THE. >> THE ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE

189
00:38:03.147 --> 00:38:17.928
THAT WE'RE TRYING. >> TO GET TO. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S. GOING TO. INTERFERE OR. POTENTIALLY JEOPARDIZE. OUR ABILITY. TO HOLD. >> PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT IS NOT GOING. >> TO BE RELEASED. IT IS NOT GOING TO BE SHOWN.

190
00:38:17.928 --> 00:38:29.707
IT'S NOT GOING. TO BE. SHARED BECAUSE THE ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE IS THE PRIMARY. PURPOSE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. RIGHT AROUND THAT. AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU SEE CARVE. OUTS FOR INVESTIGATIONS. >> WHEN THERE'S.

191
00:38:29.707 --> 00:38:41.686
>> A. CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS, IT'S BECAUSE THE INVESTIGATION. >> IS THE PRIMARY. FACTOR AROUND THE. ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE. THAT YOU'RE THERE FOR. BECAUSE WHEN YOU BRING TO. >> AN END CRIMINAL JUSTICE. SYSTEM ALL OF THOSE OTHER

192
00:38:41.686 --> 00:38:53.364
THINGS THE TRANSPARENCY COMES IT ALL OF THAT INFORMATION COMES OUT AND IS SHOWN IN IT. BUT THE. FACT IS WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO ALL WE CAN. TO HOLD. WHOEVER IT IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHATEVER. LAWS THAT MIGHT.

193
00:38:53.364 --> 00:39:05.776
HAVE BEEN BROKEN AROUND THAT. AND SO. THAT IS THE PURPOSE. OF YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SEE THOSE. CARVE OUTS WORK THAT. CREATE AN INVESTIGATION. UH. >> WELL THIS GETTING IN THE WAY OF OUR ABILITY TO HOLD.

194
00:39:05.776 --> 00:39:19.323
PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. WHATEVER. >> YOU KNOW, CHARGES THAT MAY. >> HAVE BEEN, YOU. KNOW, UH, VIOLATED UH, AND. WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING. >> TO. IMPACT THE INVESTIGATION. >> TO DO THAT. YEAH. >> JUST TO JUST ONE QUICK FOLLOW UP. THANK YOU. CHAIR.

195
00:39:19.323 --> 00:39:31.902
UM, I MEAN, I GUESS BASED AFTER RECENT EVENTS LIKE DO YOU DO YOU WANT TO DO YOU THINK THE RULES NEED TO BE REVISED OR DO YOU THINK THE RULES LIKE GIVE YOU THE FRAMEWORK TO MAKE THIS

196
00:39:31.902 --> 00:39:45.750
YOU KNOW, TO MAKE YOUR DECISIONS OR WHATEVER DECISIONS HAD TO. >> BE. SO BECAUSE I SEE WELL, I THINK WE ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK AT OUR RULES AND POLICIES. AND TO SEE IF THEY REFLECT. >> THE BEST PRACTICES. >> OF WHAT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD. UM.

197
00:39:45.750 --> 00:39:59.296
INVESTIGATIONS PARTICULARLY DEATH INVESTIGATIONS. I THINK THE RULE. IS IT'S. FAIRLY APPROPRIATE. FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. THE INVESTIGATION. IS PARAMOUNT. ABOUT WHAT. >> WE'RE YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS MAKING SURE WE'RE. HOLDING WHOEVER. >> IT IS ACCOUNTABLE.

198
00:39:59.296 --> 00:40:13.577
FOR POTENTIAL, UH, VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW. UM. >> EVERYTHING THAT WE DO PARTICULARLY AROUND THE AROUND . RELEASE OF BODY CAMERAS DESCRIBED. BEFORE UH, IS. YOU KNOW, OUR POLICY IS. BASED AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.

199
00:40:13.577 --> 00:40:26.490
MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES IS BASED. >> ON THE UH ON THE. PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS. AROUND THAT. AND SO IF THERE'S AN ACTIVE. INVESTIGATION IT MIGHT INTERFERE IT WON'T BE RELEASED THE SECOND THAT WE'RE DONE WITH

200
00:40:26.490 --> 00:40:38.402
THAT IT WILL BE RELEASED. AND SO. REMEMBER THE. PRIMARY PURPOSE. IS TO HOLD. PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING. THAT MIGHT JEOPARDIZE THAT. OR OUR ABILITY TO DO IT, WELL THEN WE'RE GOING.

201
00:40:38.402 --> 00:40:54.218
>> TO HOLD BACK AND. NOT RELEASE IT UNTIL. UH. >> THAT'S BEEN DETERMINED. THAT THE. INVESTIGATION IS. IS FAIRLY. SURE WE'RE. >> NOT SURE THAT OKAY. THANK YOU, CHAIR, FOR LETTING ME GO OVER UM. MAKE SURE TO. >> AFFORD YOU THE SAME COURTESY

202
00:40:54.218 --> 00:41:04.895
,PLEASE. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR WEBER. UH, WELL, I'LL GO INTO A SECOND ROUND OF QUESTIONS. I'M STARTING WITH THE LEAD SPONSOR, COUNSELOR CULPEPER. YOU HAVE SEVEN MINUTES. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR.

203
00:41:04.895 --> 00:41:14.572
COMMISSIONER, I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE QUESTION BY COUNCILOR WEBER. WITH REGARD TO OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THAT. UM, A.

204
00:41:14.572 --> 00:41:28.152
POLICE INVOLVED DEATH THAT THE OFFICERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO COME IN TO REVIEW THE BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE, AM I CORRECT. ? >> AND AN OFFICER INVOLVED? YEAH. THAT INVOLVED IN THE DEATH.

205
00:41:28.152 --> 00:41:38.028
LET ME JUST. READ THIS BACK TO UH. IF IF AT THE TIME BY THE CHAPTER YOU JUST SAID A DANCER'S NO. AT A TIME DETERMINED BY THE SUPERVISOR OF THE INVESTIGATION

206
00:41:38.028 --> 00:41:47.404
OFFICERS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT. AND THIS IS A SECTION DEALING WITH AN OFFICER INVOLVED DEATH OFFICERS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN

207
00:41:47.404 --> 00:41:59.049
THE INCIDENT, OFFICERS WHO DISCHARGE YOUR WEAPON, UH, OFFICERS WHO WITNESSED THE INCIDENT MAY VIEW THEIR OWN VIDEO BEFORE GIVING A

208
00:41:59.049 --> 00:42:11.729
STATEMENT. AND SO FROM THAT STATEMENT THE OFFICERS CAN COME IN AND DO YOU REVIEW THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A STATEMENT? ISN'T THAT CORRECT?

209
00:42:11.729 --> 00:42:24.108
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE MR COMMISSIONER. UH. >> FURTHER AT THE OFFICER'S REQUEST, IF AN OFFICER SAYS I WANT MY ATTORNEY IN THERE TO

210
00:42:24.108 --> 00:42:34.985
REVIEW THE FOOTAGE TO THIS SAYS THAT HE CAN HAVE HIS ATTORNEY WITH HIM WHEN THE OFFICER VIEWS THE VIDEO THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS RIGHT HERE.

211
00:42:34.985 --> 00:42:57.107
ISN'T THAT CORRECT? UM. >> AT THE BOTTOM THE LAST PARAGRAPH UNDER 6.2 AT THE TIME. AND THIS. IS NOT. >> THE LEFT. 6.2 THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH SAYS.

212
00:42:57.107 --> 00:43:10.254
SO. >> IT'S NOT THE BAR IT'S ACTUALLY THE THIRD NOT THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH. IT'S THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON THE PAGE AND MY. PAGE IS ANOTHER. 6.2 WE'RE NOT READING FROM THE

213
00:43:10.254 --> 00:43:20.698
SAME PAGE. OH THAT'S. RIGHT YOU IN 6.2 RIGHT. YES. PARAGRAPH THREE YOU'RE REFERRING RIGHT. THERE'S SO MUCH ON MY PAGE IT'S THE LAST ONE. BUT THERE'S A FOURTH PARAGRAPH TO THAT SIX POINTS.

214
00:43:20.698 --> 00:43:32.109
NOT ON MY PAGE BUT WE'VE GOT THE DIFFERENT PAGES. BUT THE QUESTION. THEN SAYS AT A TIME DETERMINED BY A SUPERVISOR RIGHT RIGHT. BUT IF THE SUPERVISOR SAYS TO

215
00:43:32.109 --> 00:43:44.054
THE OFFICER INVOLVED I APPROVE YOU COMING IN TO VIEW THE VIDEO, THE OFFICER CAN COME IN AND REVIEW HIS VIDEO BEFORE GIVING A STATEMENT.

216
00:43:44.054 --> 00:43:57.201
ISN'T THAT CORRECT? THEY COULD. THEY COULD AND. >> HE. AND HIS ATTORNEY CAN ALSO COME IN WITH HIM TO REVIEW THE FOOTAGE. ACCORDING TO RULE IF.

217
00:43:57.201 --> 00:44:09.079
ACCORDING TO THE RULE. BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE THE CASE . AND IN THIS CASE AND WE REALIZE THAT THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT CONTROLS ALL EVIDENCE.

218
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:21.558
IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, CERTAINLY IF WE'RE INVESTIGATING THE SCENE WE WOULD. PROBABLY SAY COMMISSIONER, IS THAT CORRECT? YOU CONTROL ALL EVIDENCE? NO. >> SO A DEATH INVESTIGATION AGAIN IS UNDER THE PURVIEW. BUT YOU.

219
00:44:21.558 --> 00:44:34.672
DO CONTROL THE EVIDENCE WITH REGARD TO THE DEATH INVESTIGATION, IS THAT CORRECT? CONJUNCTION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. >> BUT DO YOU CONTROL THE EVIDENCE ACCORDING TO 4 OR 5? DO YOU WHEN YOU. IN FACT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

220
00:44:34.672 --> 00:44:47.685
HAS TO REQUEST THAT YOU RELEASE THE BODY CAM IN ORDER FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO GET THE BODY CAM ISN'T THAT CORRECT? IF YOUR QUESTION IS DO WE RETRIEVE IT? YES WE INVESTIGATED SO WE ACTUALLY RETRIEVE THE EVIDENCE

221
00:44:47.685 --> 00:44:57.394
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SO HE CAN THEN REVIEW ALL THE EVIDENCE. BUT MY QUESTION IS BECAUSE YOU CONTROL ALL THE EVIDENCE ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL

222
00:44:57.394 --> 00:45:09.807
INCLUDING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS TO COME TO YOU TO MAKE A REQUEST TO GET THE BODY CAM. IT'S RIGHT IN 4 OR 5. WE SHARE IF CERTAINLY THE EVIDENCE THAT WE RETRIEVED ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY

223
00:45:09.807 --> 00:45:20.084
WITH HIM. BUT IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE BECAUSE REMEMBER, YOU KNOW THERE'S SEARCH WARRANTS INVOLVED WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO TO A JUDGE. THERE'S OTHER UH, MEETINGS AND THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

224
00:45:20.084 --> 00:45:32.896
SAYS RIGHT HERE ON THE 8.1 PROSECUTORIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCESS FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL PROSECUTORS SHALL MAKE REQUESTS FOR BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE DIRECTLY TO THE VIDEO EVIDENCE

225
00:45:32.896 --> 00:45:44.975
UNIT. CORRECT. >> SO THEY HAVE TO COME TO YOU ,THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO EVEN VIEW BODY CAM FOOTAGE. IT'S OUR SYSTEM. SO YES, WE WOULD HAVE TO SHARE

226
00:45:44.975 --> 00:45:56.053
IT. AND IN THE CASE OF MR. KING. THE AND I'M I'M SO I'M HAPPY THAT THE FAMILY FINALLY GOT A

227
00:45:56.053 --> 00:46:09.933
CHANCE TO REVIEW THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE. BUT WOULD YOU AGREE THAT HE COULD THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY COULD SHOW IT TO MR KING'S FAMILY. ISN'T THAT CORRECT? IF YOU. >> HAD SAID NO, HE COULD.

228
00:46:09.933 --> 00:46:23.413
NOW ISN'T THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE FINAL AUTHORITY WITH REGARD TO WHO VIEWS THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE? ISN'T THAT CORRECT? NO. >> AS AGAIN WE RETRIEVE THE, UH INFORMATION FOR THE PROSECUTOR. >> FOR THE CORRECT RECITATION.

229
00:46:23.413 --> 00:46:35.459
ONCE IT'S IN THEIR HANDS IT'S YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VERY EVIDENCE YOU. EVEN HAVE BRUISING HERE REGARDING HOW LONG IT'S KEPT, WHERE IT'S KEPT WHEN IT'S RELEASED UNDER FOUR FIVE.

230
00:46:35.459 --> 00:46:45.569
ISN'T THAT CORRECT? WE HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW THE EVIDENCE AROUND BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE. YES. AND THERE'S NO TIMELINE FOR RELEASING IT WITH REGARD TO ANY

231
00:46:45.569 --> 00:46:59.883
OF THE PROSECUTORS, THERE'S NO TIMELINE IN HERE WHATSOEVER WITH REGARD TO RELEASING THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION NOW. WELL, LET ME LET ME MOVE TO

232
00:46:59.883 --> 00:47:13.230
ANOTHER TIME. LET ME MOVE TO ANOTHER. >> TRY TO EXPLAIN LET. ME SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT CLEAR I MEAN. PARTICULARLY IF THERE'S PUBLIC OUT THERE LISTENING IF IT'S THE KIND OF  HAPPENS WE AS I'M NOT. RIGHT NOW. I'M JUST. >> TRYING TO GET TO THE. ANSWERS AND GIVE IT IN

233
00:47:13.230 --> 00:47:23.941
CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROSECUTOR. MR COMMISSIONER. LET ME SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT CLEAR FOR YOU. IN ORDER TO ME. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING. I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT CLEAR YOU KNOW WHAT I TOLD IN THE

234
00:47:23.941 --> 00:47:35.552
HUNTINGTON NEWS? THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS A REVIEW OF BODY CAMERA PROGRAMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES REVEALS WIDE VARIANCE ACROSS POLICIES, AND THE POLICY LANDSCAPE IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING.

235
00:47:35.552 --> 00:47:46.930
WHILE NO ONE POLICY IS PERFECT, SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. SO CARGO CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY IS AN EXEMPLARY MODEL OF SOLID POLICY WITH REGARD TO BODY CAMERAS AND

236
00:47:46.930 --> 00:47:59.343
OFFERS GUIDANCE FOR BOSTON WHEREAS AND THIS IS GOING RIGHT TO 45 IN THE HUNTINGTON NEWS WHERE IN BOSTON RU 405 IS

237
00:47:59.343 --> 00:48:11.521
STIPULATES THAT THE BODY CAMERAS IS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SHALL NOT BE RELEASED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF THE COMMISSIONER.

238
00:48:11.521 --> 00:48:21.098
ASTONISHINGLY, EVEN BOSTON'S OWN POLICE OVERSIGHT HAS BEEN DENIED ACCESS TO THE FOOTAGE OF KING'S KILLING. AND SO MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY

239
00:48:21.098 --> 00:48:34.544
THIS THERE'S NO TIMELINE WHEN THE BODY CAMERA CAN BE RELEASED . SO THAT RULE IN REFERENCE TO THAT SO. YOU KNOW NO NO NO HERE'S MY. QUESTION MR COMMISSIONER I JUST THERE'S.

240
00:48:34.544 --> 00:48:46.723
NO NO NOTHING. CAN I JUST. BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT. >> I THINK IT'S ALL IMPORTANT I REALLY DO BUT MY QUESTION. INTERNAL IT'S IN 305 AND I. UNDERSTAND THAT FOR ALL THE

241
00:48:46.723 --> 00:48:57.567
PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY CANNOT TAKE PICTURES, BODY CAMERA STUFF AND SEND IT OUT TO YOUTUBE AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO IT'S A RULE SAYING NO ONE HAS AUTHORIZATION TO RELEASE

242
00:48:57.567 --> 00:49:07.911
BODY CAMERA OTHER THAN POLICE COMMISSIONER, RIGHT. >>? >> MY YES WITH THE PROSECUTORS AS A WHOLE. MY QUESTION IS IS THERE A TIMELINE FOR EXAMPLE NEW YORK

243
00:49:07.911 --> 00:49:20.524
RELEASES BODY CAM FOOTAGE AND 45 DAYS INFO OH FIVE IS THERE ANY TIMELINE WITH WHICH BODY CAM FOOTAGE CAN BE RELEASED? NOT WITHIN THAT ROLE BUT I TOLD

244
00:49:20.524 --> 00:49:34.404
YOU OUR POLICY IS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW. SO BASICALLY IF THERE'S NOTHING. COMMISSIONER, THERE'S. NOTHING FOR YOU. SIR, CAN I GET A YES OR NO ON MY QUESTION? I'M TRYING. THERE'S A TIMELINE. >> I DON'T NEED TO GET. AN EXPLANATION THAT PEOPLE CAN

245
00:49:34.404 --> 00:49:44.548
UNDERSTAND. BUT WHAT. >> I WOULD JUST SAY, COMMISSIONER, I WILL. TRY TO. >> DO THAT. LET ME AND. LET ME ASK THE QUESTION TO TRY AND GET A QUICK ANSWER BECAUSE MY TIME IS UP. HOW ABOUT. >> A THIRD IS. IS THERE A.

246
00:49:44.548 --> 00:49:56.927
TIMELINE IN 405 WHERE BODY CAM FOOTAGE CAN BE RELEASED? WE RELEASE A BODY CAM FOOTAGE USING PUBLIC RECORD LAW SO THERE'S NO EXEMPTIONS.

247
00:49:56.927 --> 00:50:08.438
PEOPLE CAN REQUEST THE BODY CAM. FOOTAGE AND THEN WE WILL RELEASE IT ACCORDING TO THE PUBLIC RECORDS. IF THERE'S A CURRENT INVESTIGATION THEN THERE WILL BE AN EXEMPTION FOR NOT

248
00:50:08.438 --> 00:50:20.884
RELEASING IT UNTIL THAT IS DONE. WHEN IT'S COMPLETED AND WE WILL RELEASE. .18.1 >> DOESN'T REFER TO THE STATE LAW AT ALL. 8.1 SAYS AS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

249
00:50:20.884 --> 00:50:31.862
ACCESS WHETHER WHETHER IT'S STATE, FEDERAL AND LOCAL THAT THEY COME TO YOU TO MAKE A REQUEST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STATE LAW AND RELEASE AND PUBLIC RECORDS.

250
00:50:31.862 --> 00:50:44.508
AND MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY IS THERE A TIMELINE ANYWHERE IN 405 WHERE BODY CAMERAS CAN OR CANNOT BE RELEASED. SIMILAR TO WHAT I JUST

251
00:50:44.508 --> 00:50:56.019
DESCRIBED IN 8.2 IT SAYS PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT SHALL RESPOND TO PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUESTS SUBMITTED AND THE MASS GENERAL LAW 66 SECTION TEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE

252
00:50:56.019 --> 00:51:08.165
STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IT'S MAKING REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT WE USE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW AS OUR STANDARD FOR ISSUING OUT UM REQUESTS FOR PUBLIC RECORDS.

253
00:51:08.165 --> 00:51:21.411
WE'LL HAVE A THIRD. >> WHICH HAS ITS OWN I'LL COME BACK TO YOU WHICH HAS ITS OWN TIMELINES IN GENERAL. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS SAYS AND I'LL COME BACK TO IT IN A MINUTE. I WANTED TO TRY AND MAKE IT A LITTLE CLEARER. >> FOR YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILOR CULPEPER. UM, WE'VE.

254
00:51:21.411 --> 00:51:34.724
>> BEEN JOINED BY COUNCIL OVERALL. UM, I. >> WANT TO GO TO COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE. UM, FOR SEVEN MINUTES. AND THEN WE'LL GO TO COUNCIL REALM AND I. >> WANT TO UP THERE NOW. UM, COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE YOU HAVE THE BAR. THANK YOU. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO NEED ALL OF MY TIME BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF MY QUESTIONS ARE

255
00:51:34.724 --> 00:51:48.972
ANSWERED IN THE FIRST ROUND. BUT WHAT? WE'LL SEE. UM. I HAVE A QUESTION. REGARDING. >> UM. >> HOW LIKE FOOTAGE REQUESTS. . >> SO BPD REPORTEDLY. RECEIVED ABOUT 800 BODY CAMERA.

256
00:51:48.972 --> 00:52:01.251
POLICE REQUESTS LAST YEAR IN THE. >> FIELD ABOUT 500. WHAT WERE THE CRIME. IS THAT NICHOLAS YOU'RE SHAKING YOUR HEAD. IS THAT NOT CORRECT? GO AHEAD. AND I APOLOGIZE. OKAY. UM, WHAT WERE THE PRIMARY. REASONS FOR DENIAL AND HOW MUCH

257
00:52:01.251 --> 00:52:14.631
OF A BACKLOG IS THERE IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT IN REVIEWING. UH. >> HOW TO FULFILL THOSE REQUESTS? ALL ALL RIGHT. OKAY. I MISSED THE THE END OF THAT. WHAT WERE THE PRIMARY REASONS

258
00:52:14.631 --> 00:52:27.110
FOR DENIAL? SO 800 REQUEST 500 FULFILLED AND WHAT IS THE BACKLOG LOOK LIKE AND WHAT ARE THE REASON FOR BACKLOG. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR DENIAL. OF ACCESS TO FOOTAGE. IN GENERAL? YEAH. >> BODY CAMERA. FOOTAGE I.

259
00:52:27.110 --> 00:52:38.355
THERE'S NO GENERAL ANSWER. THE INVESTIGATIVE WOULD BE UM ONE THAT WOULD COME UP A LOT UM ,PRIVACY IS ONE THAT WOULD COME UP A LOT UM THAT YOU KNOW

260
00:52:38.355 --> 00:52:50.600
IT'S DEPICTING SOMETHING OF AN INDIVIDUAL UM, NOT PRIVACY FOR THE POLICE OFFICER BUT PRIVATE FOR THE PEOPLE IN IN THE VIDEO UM, FOR INSTANCE, IF SOMEBODY IS BEING DEPICTED IN A VERY

261
00:52:50.600 --> 00:53:02.779
UNFLATTERING WAY UM, THERE'S A PRIVACY EXEMPTION THAT WE DON'T THINK THAT THEIR PRIVACY RIGHTS WOULD TRUMP THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO SEE THAT UM, AND THEN STATUTORY WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE.

262
00:53:02.779 --> 00:53:13.757
UM, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DEATH INVESTIGATIONS, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS THAT CAN'T BE RELEASED. THAT WOULD BE A STATUTORY EXEMPTION UNDER A CODE.

263
00:53:13.757 --> 00:53:28.805
SO OF THE 1273 REQUESTED, 722 WERE RELEASED IN 551 WERE DENIED. OKAY. >> UM, WHEN PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL THAT THE DENIAL.

264
00:53:28.805 --> 00:53:38.848
IS TWO WAYS THEY CAN APPEAL UM, WHETHER IT'S A DENIAL OR REDACTIONS, THEY CAN GO TO THE SUPERVISOR OF PUBLIC RECORDS. UM, THEY COULD ALSO FILE A LAWSUIT IN SUPERIOR COURT TO GET THE RECORDS.

265
00:53:38.848 --> 00:53:51.161
UM, AND THE LEGISLATURE ACTUALLY CHANGED THE STATUTE IN 2017 TO ALLOW FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS. NOW IF YOU GO TO SUPERIOR COURT IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GET YOUR RECORDS OKAY.

266
00:53:51.161 --> 00:54:01.371
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME JURISDICTIONS. WHERE LIKE THE RELEASE OF THE. FOOTAGE IS. REQUIRED EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION. CAN YOU HAVE YOU REVIEWED SORT OF.

267
00:54:01.371 --> 00:54:13.950
THOSE POLICIES AND HOW THEY'RE BALANCING WHAT WE. WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO VOLUNTEER AS WELL, WHICH IS NOT. TRYING TO PREJUDICE THE INVESTIGATION BUT STILL THERE'S STILL A REQUIREMENT IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS TO RELEASE BODY

268
00:54:13.950 --> 00:54:24.261
WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE. AND SO I SEE SO WE DO RELEASE THE FOOTAGE SO YOU KNOW WHICH PEOPLE MAYBE DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM AN INVESTIGATION INVOLVES

269
00:54:24.261 --> 00:54:36.473
IT INVOLVES A LOT UM YOU KNOW WITH WITNESS STATEMENTS YOU'RE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT WENT ON OR WHAT OCCURRED. IN THE FOOTAGE COULD. IMPACT THAT. SOMETIMES PEOPLE SEE THINGS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY'RE WITNESS TO SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T

270
00:54:36.473 --> 00:54:48.518
SEE UH, THAT THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES ON AROUND THAT. BUT THE REALITY. >> IS THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT. VERY GOOD. I MEAN, IT RELATES BACK TO MY EARLIER POINT ABOUT POLICE REPORTS PRIOR TO SEEING A VIDEO AND AFTER A VIDEO BUT.

271
00:54:48.518 --> 00:54:59.963
I MEAN BUT YOU'RE I MEAN HUMANS . >> ARE YOU'RE SAYING POLICE OFFICER HUMANS AS WELL. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT THAT I THINK THAT'S IT'S VERY I AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT. NO BUT THANK BUT THANK YOU. BUT THE POINT IS IS THAT WHEN

272
00:54:59.963 --> 00:55:09.839
WE DO AN INVESTIGATION WE'RE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED THE FACTS OF WHAT HAPPENED AROUND THAT AND UNTIL YOU DETERMINE STUFF AND UM, YOU RELEASE AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVING.

273
00:55:09.839 --> 00:55:22.752
FOOTAGE AND SEEING ALL THIS MUDDIES THAT UP. IT MAKES YOUR CASE, YOU KNOW, LESS PROVABLE OR LESS LESSENS OUR ABILITY TO ACTUALLY BRING A CASE FORWARD. AND SO UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS. OVER.

274
00:55:22.752 --> 00:55:35.432
>> IT'S ABOUT US ACCUMULATING THE FACTS TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT I. >> GUESS WHAT I'M. ASKING BECAUSE I HAVE NOT DONE IT BUT WHEN WE'RE DONE. IT'S RELEASED OUTSIDE OF OF SOME OTHER EXCEPTIONS. THE FACT IS I DON'T. WANT TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION

275
00:55:35.432 --> 00:55:48.078
THAT SO. YOU KNOW IT'S INDEFINITE WHENEVER I. KNOW I UNDERSTAND. THAT BUT I'M JUST SAYING THAT THERE ARE JURISDICTIONS WHEN EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN IMPENDING INVESTIGATION. >> THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO RELEASE BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE. UH, CAN I JUST THAT.

276
00:55:48.078 --> 00:56:01.524
YEAH. >> I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE THE EXEMPTION IS NOT JUST OH, THERE'S AN INVESTIGATION. WE'RE NOT GOING TO RELEASE IT. IT HAS TO PREJUDICE THAT. I STATED THAT. >> YES. RIGHT. >> AND SO. THERE ARE. >> PLENTY OF THINGS THAT WE

277
00:56:01.524 --> 00:56:12.335
HAVE RELEASED ON CASES EVEN THOUGH THERE'S STILL THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT COMPLETE SIGNED OFF IN OVER UM BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IF IT'S A IF

278
00:56:12.335 --> 00:56:23.613
IT'S A DOCUMENT IN A REPORT SOMEHOW IT'S VERY EASY TO GO IN AND REDACT THAT TO TAKE OUT THINGS THAT MIGHT PREJUDICE AND RELEASE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT WITH THE VIDEO. THE VIDEO SHOWS SO MUCH MORE SO

279
00:56:23.613 --> 00:56:34.424
THAT'S WHY VIDEO IS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT ANIMAL WHEN IT COMES TO REDACTING OUT WHAT MIGHT BE PREJUDICIAL AND AND PREJUDICE THAT INVESTIGATION AS

280
00:56:34.424 --> 00:56:44.634
OPPOSED TO DOCUMENTS. AND YOU MADE MENTION OF OTHER PLACES. YEAH THERE THERE ARE MANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT SAY THEY PUT TIMELINES 30 6090 DAYS ON IT

281
00:56:44.634 --> 00:56:56.646
BUT VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE EXEMPTIONS FOR INVESTIGATIONS. SO YOU KNOW, WE PUT OUT A TIME I SAID WE'LL RELEASE IT IN 90 DAYS. WE GET IT. WE SAY WE HAVE A CAMERA FOR INVESTIGATIONS. YOU'RE IN THE SAME POSITION WE

282
00:56:56.646 --> 00:57:07.424
ARE RIGHT NOW. SO IT'S ACTUALLY MORE TRANSPARENT WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE SENSE WE'RE SAYING YOU KNOW PUT A PUBLIC RECORD FOR RECORDS REQUEST IN IF WE COULD RELEASE IN OTHER WORDS IF AND THAT'S AN IMPACT IN OUR ABILITY TO DO IT,

283
00:57:07.424 --> 00:57:18.268
WE'LL DO IT WITHIN THAT TIMELINE WHICH IS FAR FASTER THAN ANY OF THESE OTHER JURISDICTIONS TIMELINES THAT YOU HEAR OUT THERE AND VIRTUALLY ALL OF THEM HAVE THESE EXEMPTIONS.

284
00:57:18.268 --> 00:57:28.812
SO I YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC OR PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT THERE THAT THINK THAT WE HAVE A GUIDELINE AROUND WHEN WE RELEASE IT IF THERE'S NO UM ,IMPACT TO AN INVESTIGATION, UH, WE WILL RELEASE THE COURT

285
00:57:28.812 --> 00:57:41.090
AND PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS. UH, IF THERE IS THEN WE WON'T UM, UNTIL YOU KNOW THAT INVESTIGATION IS DONE OR AT LEAST IT WON'T BE IMPACTED IN THAT WAY. UH, AND UM, YOU KNOW, I YOU

286
00:57:41.090 --> 00:57:54.971
KNOW, I JUST DON'T WANT FOLKS TO THINK THAT IT'S IT'S THIS INDEFINITE THING THAT GOES ON ON FOREVER AND EVER. THANK YOU. >> AND IF I MAY, I HAVE. ONE LAST QUESTION REGARDING LIKE SECONDARY USE OF SURVEILLANCE UM, FOOTAGE UH,

287
00:57:54.971 --> 00:58:04.747
USES ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. ARE THERE RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS FOR UM DEMONSTRATIONS? PROTESTS LIKE WHAT? MAKE SURE THAT LIKE WE'RE NOT USING. ANY SORT OF.

288
00:58:04.747 --> 00:58:19.662
FOOTAGE OR SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY, UM TO INFRINGE ON SOMEONE'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. AND HERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY BODY WORN CAMERAS. WE DON'T WANT TO INFRINGE. ON PEOPLE'S FIRST MINUTE RIGHTS.

289
00:58:19.662 --> 00:58:32.842
>> IS THAT IT DOES ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. THERE IS POLICY. IN THE UH THERE ARE IN. RULE 4. >> OR. 5 THAT. >> TALKS ABOUT THAT. SO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO IT. BUT IF IT. IF WE DON'T SURVEIL PEOPLE'S

290
00:58:32.842 --> 00:58:42.852
FIRST AND PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS BUT IF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY HAPPENS DURING A DEMONSTRATION OR A FIRST ROUND PROTECTING THE BODY CAMERA IS EXPECTED TO BE

291
00:58:42.852 --> 00:58:53.897
ACTIVATED WHEN THERE'S AN ARREST THAT'S GOING TO BE MADE OR AN INTERACTION LIKE THAT IT DOES IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTIVE EVENT THAT'S GOING ON DOES NOT PREVENT THE

292
00:58:53.897 --> 00:59:09.846
OFFICERS FROM TURNING ON THEIR BODY CAMERA WHEN THEY HAVE TO CONDUCT AN ARREST OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL AND. UM. >> COUNCILOR WORRELL YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. UH THANK. >> YOU CHAIR AND THANK YOU.

293
00:59:09.846 --> 00:59:23.526
FOR BEING HERE. COMMISSIONER AND TEAM. UH, ONE OF MY FIRST. QUESTIONS IS AROUND. UM. >> MY UNDERSTANDING WHEN I WAS WATCHING. >> THE HEARING IS THAT WE UPDATED, UH, WITH THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT UPDATED, UH,

294
00:59:23.526 --> 00:59:35.905
THE. CAMERA. >> BUT BUT, UH, CAMERA BWC A BODY WORN CAMERA RULES IN 2025 . WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LIKE? CAN YOU TALK TO ME? WHO WAS AT THE TABLE?

295
00:59:35.905 --> 00:59:48.518
UM, WAS IT JUST AN INTERNAL PROCESS? UM, WHO WHO WAS THAT DONE? >> SO ALL OUR RULES ARE INTERNAL. THEY'RE MEANT FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS. SO, UM, UM, WE WE USUALLY HAVE ,UH, A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT,

296
00:59:48.518 --> 01:00:00.830
YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH OUR RULES ,UH, AND SEE WHAT REQUIRES UPDATING IN GENERAL. UM. >> THE FOR INSTANCE, THERE WAS . WHEN FEDERAL AGENCIES STARTED

297
01:00:00.830 --> 01:00:12.609
TO USE BODY CAMERAS IT IT IMPACTED US BECAUSE THERE'S THERE'S CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO WOULD WHO WERE ASSIGNED TO THESE SPECIAL TASK FORCES. AND SO WE HAD TO NOW UPDATE OUR

298
01:00:12.609 --> 01:00:23.886
RULE TO ADDRESS THAT. SO A LOT OF TIMES CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAPPENED THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF THE DEPARTMENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT WAYS MIGHT GET PASSED. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN WE UPDATED THE BODY WORN CAMERA RULE WITH

299
01:00:23.886 --> 01:00:35.665
THE RETENTION POLICY JUST BECAUSE THE STATE HAD CHANGED THEIR RETENTION POLICY AND SO WE HAD SO THERE ARE SOMETIMES LAWS AND CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DICTATE A RULE.

300
01:00:35.665 --> 01:00:47.143
RIGHT FOR YOU FOR YOU TO UPDATE YOUR. >> YEAH YEAH. AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE DO LOOK AT ALL. >> THE RULES IN GENERAL. YEAH YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE FEDERAL ONE BECAUSE WE HAVE UH FEDERAL AGENCIES DECIDING THE TASK FORCE THINGS OF THAT

301
01:00:47.143 --> 01:00:59.689
NATURE AND THAT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE UPDATE THAT REGARDING BODY CAM FOOTAGE KIND OF THING . PRIOR TO THAT THEY DIDN'T ALLOW US TO HAVE BODY CAMERAS WHEN. >> WE WORKED WITH. >> THEM. AND THEN UH, I KNOW THERE WAS A

302
01:00:59.689 --> 01:01:12.835
TASK FORCE THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED TO REVIEW UM BODY WORN CAMERA. UM IN THE FOOTAGE THEY HAD 2020 AND I BELIEVE THEY RELEASED A REPORT UM IN AUGUST OF 2022 UH

,THE TASK FORCE. FROM WHAT. I'M READING HERE WAS. YOU KNOW, WAYNE BUD REVEREND JEFFREY BROWN, UH, ALLISON CARR . RIGHT. UH, EDDIE CRISPIN KNOW OR SOME

304
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:35.892
OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY WERE UM, RELEASED A REPORT THAT SAID LAW ENFORCEMENT BODY CAMERA TASK FORCE RECOMMENDED REGULATIONS FOR THE PROCUREMENT AND USE OF BODY WORN CAMERAS UH, BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

305
01:01:35.892 --> 01:01:45.835
UM AND THE DATE ON THIS IS AUGUST 2ND OF 2022. UM, WAS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS TASK FORCE RECOMMENDED? WELL, I GUESS THE FIRST QUESTION IS DO YOU. REMEMBER THE.

306
01:01:45.835 --> 01:01:59.682
REPORT UM, THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD I DO NOT I WASN'T IN. >> THIS COMMISSION AT ALL AND. YEAH YEAH HE WASN'T THERE YET. NO. >> OKAY WELL THERE IS SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS

307
01:01:59.682 --> 01:02:15.198
REPORT UM THAT HAVE NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED UM IN THE RULES UM ONE OF THOSE OR A FEW OF THOSE IS GO TO I WAS RIGHT HERE.

308
01:02:15.198 --> 01:02:25.908
IS ACCESS UH GAVE RECORDED INDIVIDUALS AND MEXICAN UH ACCESS TO THEIR OWN UH FAMILY MEMBER OR FOOTAGE. UM, THAT WAS ONE OF THE RULES, UM, THAT THE TASK FORCE THAT

309
01:02:25.908 --> 01:02:37.253
SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED UH, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS UM, THE OTHER ONE WAS ALLOW BROAD PUBLIC ACCESS TO UM BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE VIA FOR YOU UM

310
01:02:37.253 --> 01:02:47.196
AND THEN. WHICH IS WHAT WE DO, RIGHT. YEAH THEY SAID WELL THEY YES I GUESS THE WAY THAT THEY WROTE OUT THE RECOMMENDATION UM IT

311
01:02:47.196 --> 01:02:56.973
WASN'T FULLY IMPLEMENTED INTO THE RULES ON HOW THE TASK FORCE RECOMMENDED IT. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE FOLLOW THAT'S I MEAN THE PUBLIC RECORDS LAW MASSACHUSETTS THE YEAR IS THE FEDERAL BUT.

312
01:02:56.973 --> 01:03:08.684
YEAH I GET REQUEST I GET THAT AND THEN ALSO PART OF IT WAS UH CLEAR PROCEDURES AND CONSEQUENCES PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE TIERS UM EFFECT IN PROMOTING SOCIETIES AROUND UM

313
01:03:08.684 --> 01:03:21.497
BODY WORN CAMERAS BUT I GUESS WHICH BUT WHICH WE ALSO. WHICH WE ALL. HAVE TO. >> DO OKAY. I KNOW FOR A FACT WE DO UH IT IS AUTOMATIC DISCIPLINE WHEN ANY RELATION A VIOLATION OF BODY WORN CAMERA THAT THAT

314
01:03:21.497 --> 01:03:34.811
WAS NOT A THING BEFORE AUGUST 15TH OF 2022. OKAY. >> UM AND THAT'S WHAT I RECEIVE TO RECEIVE IN THAT REPORT I CAN ABSOLUTELY THAT'S THIS IS ABSOLUTE ACCOUNTABILITY AROUND BODY WORN CAMERA.

315
01:03:34.811 --> 01:03:46.589
WHERE OKAY. AND IT MIGHT NOT BE FULLY TO WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION WAS IN THE REPORT. UM BUT IT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN A WAY THAT YOU HAVE ADDRESSED IT. RIGHT.

316
01:03:46.589 --> 01:03:57.667
I THINK THE REPORT MIGHT HAVE WENT A LITTLE FURTHER THAN WHAT'S CURRENTLY IN THE RULES. I THINK WE ACTUALLY DO ADDRESS THAT IT'S. THERE IS A THERE IS A DISCIPLINE AN AUTOMATIC DISCIPLINE IF YOU VIOLATE THE

317
01:03:57.667 --> 01:04:10.179
BODY CAMERA AND IF YOU DO IT A SECOND TIME IT WILL BE PROGRESSIVE. UM SO I THINK. FROM WHAT YOU READ. IS IF YOU DO THE SAME THING A SECOND TIME THE DISCIPLINE IS GOING TO BE. HIGHER BECAUSE. >> THE COMMISSIONER HAS PUT OUT

318
01:04:10.179 --> 01:04:22.291
THE THE MESSAGE THAT BODY CAMERA IS IMPORTANT AND YOU HAVE TO USE THEM. GOT IT. >> AND THEN MY MY LAST QUESTION CHAIR IS. UM I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME EXEMPTIONS ON WHEN YOU DON'T

319
01:04:22.291 --> 01:04:33.603
HAVE TO RELEASE A BODY WORN CAMERA. UM BUT DOES THAT REQUEST NEED TO BE MADE AGAIN AFTER LIKE LET'S SAY AN ACTIVE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION IS DONE? YES.

320
01:04:33.603 --> 01:04:43.512
SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT AGAIN SO YOU DON'T AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE IT ONCE. THERE'S NOT A THERE'S NOT A ROLLING OBLIGATION ONCE IT'S DENIED OR RELEASED WITH WITH

321
01:04:43.512 --> 01:04:54.991
REDACTIONS THAT'S CLOSED OUT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY CAN APPEAL THAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE THE ANSWER THEY CAN APPEAL TO THE SUPERVISOR OR TO COURT. RIGHT. UM IF THEY DON'T THEY HAVE

322
01:04:54.991 --> 01:05:05.368
EVERY RIGHT TO COME BACK AT A LATER TIME AND MAKE THAT SAME EXACT REQUEST. IF THERE'S NO LONGER AN INVESTIGATIVE EXEMPTION, THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY GET THERE. AND HOW MANY OF THOSE RIGHT

323
01:05:05.368 --> 01:05:17.480
WHERE THE WHERE THE EXEMPTION WAS ACTIVE AND UH ACTIVE INVESTIGATION UM WHERE WE DENIED PUBLIC REQUEST HOW MANY OF THOSE. THAT HAVE NOW BEEN.

324
01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:32.328
CLOSED I I DON'T HAVE THAT OKAY I DON'T. >> KNOW I GUESS THROUGH THE CHAIR WELL. >> I LOOK IT BECAUSE IT'S CLOSED IS UH RECORD KEEPING THEM THEN. SO RIGHT THEY WOULD HAVE TO RECORD YOU HAD. >> TO REQUEST IT AGAIN. YES. NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND THAT I

325
01:05:32.328 --> 01:05:43.039
JUST. >> KIND OF. CLOSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND. JUST FROM. FROM PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE I CAN'T NAME THE CASE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME BACK AT A LATER TIME. NO ONE GOT THE RECORDS BECAUSE

326
01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:54.083
THE EXEMPTION THAT WAS USED NO LONGER APPLY. I REPLIED RIGHT, YEAH I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW FOR MY FOR MY SAKE. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS. IS THERE ANYTHING ASKED? UH I DON'T THINK IT

327
01:05:54.083 --> 01:06:05.628
COUNCILOR WORRELL WE'RE NOT GOING TO UH ANOTHER ROUND UM COUNCILOR CULPEPER YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE KING FAMILY

328
01:06:05.628 --> 01:06:18.541
BEING, UH, SHOWN THE VIDEO BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND MY QUESTION WAS. DID YOU TALK WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ABOUT WHETHER THE KING FAMILIES SHOULD SEE THE VIDEO? NO, NOT.

329
01:06:18.541 --> 01:06:31.620
>> PARTICULARLY ABOUT THAT. I KNEW YOU WOULD SHOW IT. BUT YOU KNEW HE WOULD SHOW IT. YEAH. >> IT'S PART OF THE. DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND. YOU CAN YOU PROVE THAT HIM SHOWING IT? I MEAN, I TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD YOU KNOW, THAT HE WOULD AT SOME POINT.

330
01:06:31.620 --> 01:06:46.469
>> YEAH. BUT YOU DIDN'T DISAPPROVE. YEAH. >> AND LET ME JUST TURN TO HOPING FOR MY REMAINING TIME. SO YOU RECEIVED A LETTER FROM OPEN UH, RECENTLY DEALING WITH

331
01:06:46.469 --> 01:06:57.880
. THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION REVIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OPEN THAT CORRECT. YEAH OPAC BECAUSE IN THE NEGATIVE.

332
01:06:57.880 --> 01:07:08.824
REMEMBER SHE HAS MISSED THE COMMISSION AND I'M TRYING TO GET THROUGH THESE QUESTIONS PLEASE. YOU RECEIVED A LETTER FROM OPEN RAISING ISSUES ABOUT THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION

333
01:07:08.824 --> 01:07:20.269
REVIEWING ALL PAT'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU. IS THAT CORRECT? I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM OPEN YEAH SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHY OF THAT THAT HAPPENS BUT WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO INVESTIGATE ALL ALLEGATIONS

334
01:07:20.269 --> 01:07:32.548
OF MISCONDUCT BY OUR EMPLOYEES. RIGHT? >> RIGHT. BUT COMMISSIONER THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT COME FROM OPAC ARE INDEPENDENT OF ANY INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION.

335
01:07:32.548 --> 01:07:43.125
AM I CORRECT? THEY DID THEY CERTAINLY SEEM. >> TO BE. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN AREA OF AUTHORITY UNDER THE LAW TO REVIEW CASES THAT COME TO THE

336
01:07:43.125 --> 01:07:53.969
INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION AND ALSO TO OPEN AND TO MAKE THEIR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU. THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS. AND AND THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU. YES.

337
01:07:53.969 --> 01:08:05.915
AND YOU'VE BEEN RESPONDING TO SOME OF THE INVESTIGATIONS EXCEPT FOR EIGHT CASES. WHY ARE YOU STILL HOLDING THOSE EIGHT CASES THAT OPA IS WAITING

338
01:08:05.915 --> 01:08:17.259
FOR A DECISION ON? >> I BELIEVE I RESPONDED TO EVERY CASE. THERE'S NO ALTERNATE HERE'S A LETTER RIGHT HERE. MR COMMISSIONER LET ME JUST. REVIEW IT FOR YOU. I RESPONDED TO ALL CASES TODAY .

339
01:08:17.259 --> 01:08:29.171
THERE'S EIGHT CASES THAT OPEN IS STILL BEEN LAID WAITING FOR A DECISION ON. LET ME READ THE LETTER FROM THE LETTER THEY SENT TO YOU. THERE WERE EIGHT CASES. AS FOR COUNCILMAN CAMARA CASES IN GENERAL.

340
01:08:29.171 --> 01:08:43.085
THESE SPECIFIC TO BODY WORN CAMERA CASES? NO THESE ARE THESE ARE GENERAL CASE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> AND AND THE MAY 1ST LETTER SAYS THERE REMAIN EIGHT CASES

341
01:08:43.085 --> 01:08:53.496
OF SUSTAINED FINDINGS TO WHICH YOUR OFFICE CONTINUES TO BE UNRESPONSIVE. THE DEPARTMENT'S PATTERN OF DELAY AND NON-COOPERATION OPEN REMAIN A MAJOR.

342
01:08:53.496 --> 01:09:05.040
DO WE HAVE TO STAY ON TOPIC OF THE HEARING TOPIC? SO UM, BODY WORN CAMERAS UNFORTUNATELY. I THOUGHT WE WELL OKAY WELL LET ME GO ON TO BODY WORN CAMERAS AND IF YOU WANT.

343
01:09:05.040 --> 01:09:19.488
THAT'S YEAH WE GOT TO KEEP IT ON TOPIC. HAPPY TO HAVE ANOTHER HEARING ON OPEN IT. SO UM. >> WELL. I KNOW I'M. CLOSING SOME ASKING QUESTIONS BUT. >> YOU CAN ASK IT. I MEAN THEY CAN I MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE TO NECESSARILY OKAY

344
01:09:19.488 --> 01:09:29.632
. SO THERE'S BEEN A DISPUTE OF WHETHER THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIONS UH.

345
01:09:29.632 --> 01:09:42.678
CAN REVIEW THE DECISIONS OF PARENT AND IN THE LETTER IT DISPUTES WHETHER THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION HAS THE

346
01:09:42.678 --> 01:09:54.657
AUTHORITY TO EVEN MAKE A DECISION WITH REGARD TO WHAT OPAC RECOMMENDED. IT FURTHER POINTS TO THESE EIGHT CASES THAT THE

347
01:09:54.657 --> 01:10:06.202
DEPARTMENT'S PATTERN OF DELAY AND NON-COOPERATION REMAIN A MAJOR HINDRANCE TO OUR WORK. IT'S TIME TO SPEED UP THE WORK AND THE TALKING ABOUT THOSE EIGHT CASES WHERE THEY SEE THE

348
01:10:06.202 --> 01:10:18.047
SAME FINDINGS AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOUR OFFICE. MY QUESTION IS WHY IS IT THAT OPEN. NUMBER ONE.

349
01:10:18.047 --> 01:10:29.091
THE DECISIONS ARE REVIEWED BY THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION AND NUMBER TWO FOR THESE EIGHT CASES DO YOU DO YOU THINK

350
01:10:29.091 --> 01:10:42.004
WITHOUT SOME KIND OF TIMELINE REQUIRING YOU TO RESPOND TO THEM WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOU IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT OPA DECISIONS ARE RESPONDED TO?

351
01:10:42.004 --> 01:10:52.915
WE RESPOND TO THEIR DECISIONS. >> IN. SOME OF THOSE CASES IT HAS TO DO WITH US INVESTIGATING TO VERIFY THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SO I COULD MAKE A UH UH A FINDING ON THEIR ON

352
01:10:52.915 --> 01:11:04.660
THEIR RECOMMENDATION. UM AND THAT'S USUALLY WHAT MOST OF THAT. BUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND THEIR POSITION IS THAT THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATION THAT THEY'VE

353
01:11:04.660 --> 01:11:17.673
CONCLUDED WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU BECAUSE ZAM RECOMMENDATION. BOSTON POLICE. DEPARTMENT NO, I UNDERSTAND. >> FOR ALL DISCIPLINE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HERE I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO VERIFY UH, THE

354
01:11:17.673 --> 01:11:27.249
REASON WHY SOMEONE IS BEING DISCIPLINED AND I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVE IT NEVER MIND ALL OF THE THE CONTRACTED OBLIGATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO UM THROUGH OUR PERSONNEL AROUND IT.

355
01:11:27.249 --> 01:11:39.328
UH, THEY HAVE MULTIPLE WAYS TO APPEAL AND AND MULTIPLE COURT PROCEDURES THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH SO I CAN, UM, BASICALLY DELEGATE MY RESPONSIBILITIES TO SOMEONE

356
01:11:39.328 --> 01:11:50.939
ELSE. SO I AM ACTUALLY FULFILLING MY OBLIGATION UH, BY. >> DOING THAT. MR COMMISSIONER. YES. MY QUESTION IS OPEN HAS THEIR OWN AREA OF AUTHORITY WITH REGARD TO DOING THEIR

357
01:11:50.939 --> 01:12:02.451
INVESTIGATION AND RESPONDING WITH FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE OFFICE. THESE ARE EIGHT CASES THAT HAVE YET TO BEEN RESPONDED TO. MY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL YOU

358
01:12:02.451 --> 01:12:15.431
RESPOND TO THEM OR ARE YOU GOING TO RESPOND TO THEM. OR RESPOND TO ALL CASES BY THE WAY WE HAVE RESPONDED BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE. >> THEM FOR THESE EIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBABLY LEADS THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL ONGOING TO DETERMINE THE

359
01:12:15.431 --> 01:12:26.442
FACTORS. AND THAT'S MY QUESTION. MR COMMISSIONER, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO INVESTIGATE WHAT OPEC HAS ALREADY INVESTIGATED. AND MADE ABOUT. MR COMMISSIONER HERE LET ME FINISH LET ME FINISH MY

360
01:12:26.442 --> 01:12:36.385
QUESTION. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO INVESTIGATE AND THAT'S WHAT THE DISPUTE IS ABOUT. THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THE CASE THAT THAT THEY HAVE

361
01:12:36.385 --> 01:12:49.331
INVESTIGATED MADE FINDINGS ON AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU. WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE WHAT OPEC UNDER THE LAW HAS ALREADY

362
01:12:49.331 --> 01:13:00.509
INVESTIGATED, MADE FINDINGS ON AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU. IF IT'S THE LETTER I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SIR, THEY WERE ASKING FOR LEGAL JUSTIFICATION. SO IF I CAN RESPOND TO THAT UH.

363
01:13:00.509 --> 01:13:11.286
THERE'S IN THE MAY 2ND LETTER. LEGALLY SPEAKING. NO NO NO. >> MR. MR. COUNCILOR THEY WEREN'T THEIR POSITION WAS THEY WERE

364
01:13:11.286 --> 01:13:23.932
DISPUTING WHETHER YOUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION HAS THE RIGHT TO INVESTIGATE CASES THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY INVESTIGATED, MADE FINDINGS ON AND SUBMITTED

365
01:13:23.932 --> 01:13:33.942
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMMISSIONER TO IMPLEMENT. IN MY LEGAL OPINION IS WE WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION. TO INVESTIGATE. THOSE UNDER BOTH THE COLLECTIVE

366
01:13:33.942 --> 01:13:45.387
BARGAINING AGREEMENTS UNDER BOTH WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THOSE CASES GOING FORWARD WHETHER THEY GO TO ARBITRATION ,WHETHER THEY GO TO. >> CIVIL SERVICE. >> WHETHER THEY END UP GOING TO SUPERIOR COURT. THERE'S A LOT OF LEGAL ISSUES THAT GO WITH THAT.

367
01:13:45.387 --> 01:13:56.365
THAT THE COMMISSIONER NEEDS TO DO HIS OWN INVESTIGATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN ANY SUSTAINED FINDINGS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE CASES. SO THERE IS A VERY BIG.

368
01:13:56.365 --> 01:14:07.743
LEGAL COMPONENT TO THAT THAT WE DO NOT GET IN THE WAY OF DOING THEIR JOB. THEY DO THEIR JOB, THEY COME UP WITH FINDINGS, THEY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE THEY ARE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE

369
01:14:07.743 --> 01:14:18.554
COMMISSIONER AND WITH THOSE IF THEY ARE SUSTAINED RECOMMENDATIONS THEN WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION AND A DUTY TO REINVESTIGATE THOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT

370
01:14:18.554 --> 01:14:31.066
MOVING FORWARD. ,EVEN THOUGH OPEN TO AUTHORITY IS TO INVESTIGATE. ACTUALLY IT'S. MY THOUGHT THE COMMISSIONER LET ME FINISH. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF AUTHORITY OPACITY AUTHORITY IS NOT YOUR AUTHORITY.

371
01:14:31.066 --> 01:14:42.711
>> I KNOW YOU GOT A LOT OF AUTHORITY. NO ACTUALLY OPEB MR COMMISSIONER, LET ME FINISH . >> ACTUALLY MY AUTHORITY CONSUMES ALL OF THAT. NOT ALL. >> THE DISCIPLINE BUT THE COMMISSIONS. LET ME LET ME BE LET ME BE

372
01:14:42.711 --> 01:14:53.755
CLEAR ON SOMETHING I'M JUST TRYING TO GET WHEN YOU WILL ANSWER THESE EIGHT CASES AND WHETHER WE SHOULD WORK WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO RESPOND TO OPAC WITHIN A

373
01:14:53.755 --> 01:15:05.934
CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. . >> AND SO I DO RESPOND BACK TO OPAC. AS WE. MENTIONED BEFORE. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE

374
01:15:05.934 --> 01:15:16.211
CONSENT DECREE FOR NOT INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM. SO WE ALWAYS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO INVESTIGATE OUR AND OUR PERSONNEL, UH, FOR

375
01:15:16.211 --> 01:15:27.923
THE ACTIVITIES THAT GO ON TO MAKE SURE THAT WE VERIFY UH, THAT THE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE OR NOT TRUE AND THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY. CAN'T BE. MY QUESTION TELLING YOU ARE YOU GOING TO RESPOND TO THEM ON

376
01:15:27.923 --> 01:15:40.903
THOSE EIGHT CASES AND IF SO WHEN? I'VE ALREADY ANSWERED. THAT WHEN THE INVESTIGATIONS ARE COMPLETE. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. MR. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU COUNCILOR.

377
01:15:40.903 --> 01:15:52.447
UM CULPEPER I ALWAYS WANT TO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF MY COUNCILORS HAVE ASKED DIFFERENT QUESTIONS. I DO WANT TO STAY ON TOPIC ON UM, THE DOCKET ORDER FOR A YEAR TO EXAMINE THE BOSTON. >> POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PROTOCOLS.

378
01:15:52.447 --> 01:16:03.759
FOR RELEASING POLICE BODY CAMERA AND DASHBOARD CAMERA FOOTAGE SO IF WE CAN STAY ON THAT TOPIC, HAPPY TO HAVE ANOTHER HEARING ON ANY OTHER TOPIC THAT MY COLLEAGUES WANT. UM COUNCIL AS WELL.

379
01:16:03.759 --> 01:16:18.240
UM, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR. . >> UH THANK YOU, THANK YOU CHAIR. I DO. >> MY BEST TO STAY ON TOPIC UH. TIMELINE UM RULES. UM, LIKE HOW WHEN DO WE GO BACK AND UPDATED? I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S, UM, YOU

380
01:16:18.240 --> 01:16:30.218
KNOW, DETERMINING ABOUT WHAT FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS. BUT IS THERE A TIMELINE ON WHEN YOU KNOW YOU UPDATE IS IT LIKE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, END OF THE YEAR OR IS IT AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR? YOU KNOW THE DEPARTMENT.

381
01:16:30.218 --> 01:16:42.564
>> IS CONSTANT. ANYTHING COULD CHANGE AT ANY TIME DURING THE YEAR. GOT IT. >> IDEALLY YOU'D. >> GET. IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. SOMETIMES THERE'S AN IMPACT THAT NEEDS TO BE MARGIN WITH THE UNION, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT

382
01:16:42.564 --> 01:16:56.244
AND SO THINGS CAN CHANGE THAT TIMELINE. >> A LITTLE BIT. AWESOME. >> AND THEN CAN YOU CLARIFY THE ROLES AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN. THE VIDEO. VIDEO EVIDENCE. UNIT UM. THE BODY WORN CAMERA UNIT AND

383
01:16:56.244 --> 01:17:09.925
THEN THE AUDIT AND REVIEW TEAM. THE THE BODY. >> WORN CAMERA UNIT AND THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT I WOULD THINK THE. OTHER THING OKAY I THINK THAT. JUST THE TERMINOLOGY IT'S THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT IS THE UNIT

384
01:17:09.925 --> 01:17:23.038
IN THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT . THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE JOB IS IS A LOT OF THE JOB IS DEALING WITH THE BODY WORN CAMERA VIDEO . UM, IN. >> THAT UH THE AUDIT IN REVIEW UNIT IS UNDER THE BUREAU

385
01:17:23.038 --> 01:17:34.116
OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. OKAY. UM AND THEY WILL THEY HAVE MANY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE DEPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE BODY WORN CAMERA AUDIT REVIEW IS JUST ONE

386
01:17:34.116 --> 01:17:47.763
OF MANY FUNCTIONS THAT THEY HAVE. ALL RIGHT. >> AWESOME. UM, AND THEN I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION OR REQUEST TO THE CHAIR IS. UH. >> YOU KNOW, REQUESTING A WORKING SESSION TO, YOU KNOW, REVIEW THE TASK FORCE

387
01:17:47.763 --> 01:17:58.707
RECOMMENDATIONS COMPARED TO RULE 4 OR 5 AND THEN POSSIBLY CREATE A LIST OF UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU KNOW, BASED OFF OF WHAT THE TASK FORCE HAS ALREADY SAID TO

388
01:17:58.707 --> 01:18:12.754
PROPOSE TO THAT COMMISSIONER. COUNCIL, WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR OFFICE TO UM, MAKE. >> THAT HAPPEN. OKAY. THANK YOU. AWESOME. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL AS WELL. WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILOR UM FLYNN. UM THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

389
01:18:12.754 --> 01:18:23.632
WE ARE I THINK OUR FIFTH ROUND OF QUESTIONS. AT THIS. POINT UM, WE'RE GOING TO UH, THE SUBJECT MATTER IS UM, ORDER FOR A HEARING TO EXAMINE THE

390
01:18:23.632 --> 01:18:36.745
BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PROTOCOLS FOR RELEASING POLICE BODY CAMERA AND DASHBOARD CAMERA FOOTAGE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU SEVEN MINUTES. UM, COUNCILOR FLYNN. TO ASK YOU QUESTIONS. UM. >> RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. >> AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE.

391
01:18:36.745 --> 01:18:49.658
I WAS AT A MEMORIAL. DAY EVENT WITH, UH, FALLEN FALLEN HEROES AND GOLD STAR FAMILIES THIS MORNING.

392
01:18:49.658 --> 01:19:02.804
COMMISSIONER. BEFORE BEFORE WE BEGAN. I HAD A HEARING. HERE EARLIER ON STAFFING LEVELS. UM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

393
01:19:02.804 --> 01:19:17.219
RESCHEDULE IT, I GUESS. BUT IS THIS SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO COME UP AND TESTIFY ABOUT STAFFING LEVELS? SURE. >> I JUST DO A LITTLE BIT OF COORDINATION SCHEDULING. UM. >> YOU KNOW, I. >> DON'T DETERMINE WHEN YOU

394
01:19:17.219 --> 01:19:29.097
PICK THE DATES FOR THOSE. OKAY. >> UH, THE ONLY REASON I. DID WE ALREADY PARTICIPATE IN THAT. ALREADY DID WE KNOW WE HAD A HEARING THAT THE CHAIR HAD IT? UM, THIS WEEK YOU WERE INVITED

395
01:19:29.097 --> 01:19:40.509
AND OR A MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM WERE INVITED, BUT, UM, LISA DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, BUT I I I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL FOR ME TO HAVE HAVE THE

396
01:19:40.509 --> 01:19:52.788
COMMISSIONER DOWN. AND APOLOGIZE ON FOR CHANGING MY SCHEDULE. I GUESS IT'S AND IT'S GETTING PRETTY BUSY BUSY EVERY DAY. I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND I'M I'M TRYING TO DO MY JOB TO

397
01:19:52.788 --> 01:20:05.901
SUPPORT THE POLICE AND SUPPORT ,UH, RANK AND FILE POLICE. UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN POLICE OFFICERS WERE 16 HOURS OUT OF THE. DAY. >> UM, I TRIED TO SUPPORT THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.

398
01:20:05.901 --> 01:20:18.513
I DO THINK WE WE PLACE THEM IN A DIFFICULT POSITION WHEN THERE'S MANDATORY OVERTIME AND THEN A POLICE OFFICER IS WORKING ON A 15TH HOUR OR 16TH HOUR TO WE'RE PUTTING THEM IN

399
01:20:18.513 --> 01:20:29.224
HARM'S WAY. I DO THINK IT HAS AN IMPACT ON THEM BUT IT HAS AN IMPACT ON THEIR FAMILIES. THAT'S WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS OF FAMILIES.

400
01:20:29.224 --> 01:20:44.439
AND I'M THE PERSON ON THE COUNCIL FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. I SUPPORT THE POLICE. I CONSISTENTLY SUPPORT THE POLICE UM, PROBABLY MORE SO THAN ANY CITY COUNCIL HERE.

401
01:20:44.439 --> 01:20:56.618
UM UM SO IT CAN BE FRUSTRATING TO ME WHEN WHEN I CALL A HEARING CALL FOR A HEARING AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP DO NOT SHOW UP. WELL ACTUALLY THERE WAS SOMEONE FROM MY DEPARTMENT SO WE HAVE

402
01:20:56.618 --> 01:21:06.595
MULTIPLE. YES LISA WAS HERE AND SHE DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB BUT I DO THE QUESTIONS THAT I DIDN'T NECESSARILY WANT TO ASK. HER BECAUSE UM YOU KNOW WASN'T

403
01:21:06.595 --> 01:21:20.075
REALLY IN HER IN HER LANE BUT. SHE SHE SHOWED UP SHE WAS PROFESSIONAL. SHE WAS OUTSTANDING. UM. SO MR CHAIR, NOW I'M GOING TO GET BACK TO MY QUESTIONING. IS THAT IS THAT OKAY?

404
01:21:20.075 --> 01:21:34.155
THAT'S FINE. YOU GOT FOUR MINUTES. OKAY. >> YOU CAN HAVE YOU. >> TAKE YOUR TIME, COUNSELOR FOOT. THANK YOU. >> AND AGAIN, UM, I DIDN'T HEAR THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY. I'M GOING TO HEAR THE TESTIMONY PROVIDED, SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO

405
01:21:34.155 --> 01:21:45.433
REVIEW THAT LATER. UM, TODAY WHEN I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND I'M SURE SOME OF MY QUESTIONS MIGHT BE HAVE ALREADY ASKED BUT HERE'S MY QUESTION.

406
01:21:45.433 --> 01:21:57.479
UH, COMMISSIONER. THERE IS A POLICY OF WHEN TO RELEASE CAM BODY CAMERA FOR A POLICE OFFICER WHEN NOT TO RELEASE SAID BUT IS IT

407
01:21:57.479 --> 01:22:08.924
SELECTIVE? DOES IT DEPEND ON THE SITUATION DOES IT DEPEND ON THE POLICE COMMISSIONER? DOES IT DEPEND ON THE SCENARIO WHERE YOU KNOW, SOME POLICE COMMISSIONERS IN THE PAST HAVE

408
01:22:08.924 --> 01:22:20.001
BROUGHT ELECTED OFFICIALS AND CLERGY MEMBERS TO TO THE POLICE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE TO TO REVIEW BODY BODY CAMERA REVIEW

409
01:22:20.001 --> 01:22:29.844
A VIDEO I SHOULD SAY AND THEN OTHER TIMES THAT'S NOT THE POLICY BUT IS THERE A POLICY THAT'S CONSISTENT OR IS THAT IS

410
01:22:29.844 --> 01:22:41.523
THE POLICY DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION AND THE COMMISSIONER AND IS THERE SOME LEEWAY IN IN TERMS OF WHEN THE VIDEO CAN'T

411
01:22:41.523 --> 01:22:52.634
BE RELEASED AND NOT RELEASED REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE POLICY STATES? SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. SO I, I WOULD SAY THIS THAT WE WE USE PUBLIC RECORD LAW AS OUR POLICY I MEAN POLICY FOR

412
01:22:52.634 --> 01:23:04.779
RELEASE OF BODY WORN CAMERA IF THERE'S AN EXCEPTION TO IT AT THE TIME AND. >> WE. GOT INVOLVED IN INVESTIGATIONS THEN WE WOULD NOT RELEASE IT WHILE THAT UH INVESTIGATION IS

413
01:23:04.779 --> 01:23:16.758
ONGOING. BUT AT SOME POINT, UM, WHEN ALL INVESTIGATIONS. CONCLUDE OR THERE'S NO OTHER EXEMPTION THAT WOULD COVER IT UH, AT THE CONCLUSION. >> OF. OF THAT INVESTIGATION. >> WE WOULD, YOU. >> KNOW.

414
01:23:16.758 --> 01:23:29.371
RELEASE AT LEAST THE BODY WORN CAMERA OR UH, OR ANY EVIDENCE THAT UM YEAH, THE PUBLIC RECORD LAW SAYS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO, UH, RELEASE. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WHO. IS HERE.

415
01:23:29.371 --> 01:23:42.250
>> SO SO A POLICE COMMISSIONER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO RELEASE. OR TO SHOW OR TO SHOW ELECTED OFFICIALS OR MEMBERS OF THE CLERGY BODY CAMERA AND

416
01:23:42.250 --> 01:23:56.765
SELECTIVE CASES. SO NOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST PICKING A RANDOM GROUP OF PEOPLE. >> AND ENSURING THAT. YOU KNOW, NOT A RANDOM GROUP OF PEOPLE MAYBE UM, MAYBE

417
01:23:56.765 --> 01:24:07.342
WELL-RESPECTED CLERGY MEMBERS, MAYBE CITY COUNCILS, UH, STATE LEGISLATORS AND MAYBE UH, A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WAS SOMEHOW

418
01:24:07.342 --> 01:24:20.055
IMPACTED IN A SITUATION WHERE THE BODY CAMERA IMPACTED THEIR LOVED ONE NOT NOT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC BUT TO SELECTIVE PEOPLE. UM, AS AS I MENTIONED.

419
01:24:20.055 --> 01:24:33.701
IF YOU ASK COULD THAT A COURT YES, IT COULD OCCUR. DEPENDING ON DEPENDING ON WHO THE POLICE COMMISSIONER IS OR DEPENDING ON THE SCENARIO. BOTH. >> MY PROBLEM IS THAT SCENARIO BASED AROUND YOU. KNOW, YOU.

420
01:24:33.701 --> 01:24:44.879
>> ENGAGED IN FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IF SOMETHING MIGHT BE DICTATED UH, FOR EMERGENCY REASONS THAT WE MIGHT NEED PUBLIC TRUST IN SOME WAY WHERE IT MIGHT IMPACT THE

421
01:24:44.879 --> 01:24:55.690
INVESTIGATION. BUT THE REALITY IS, UH, THERE'S A PUBLIC SAFETY NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW THAT'S FAR GREATER THAN, UM, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO. SO SOMETIMES FACTS AND

422
01:24:55.690 --> 01:25:09.771
CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE UM, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GOING OUTSIDE OF THOSE POLICIES. YES. >> WOULD THE IMPACT OF THE VIDEO HAVING A IMPACT ON POTENTIAL MEDIA COVERAGE OR

423
01:25:09.771 --> 01:25:25.186
POTENTIAL IMPACT ON UM, HOW THE COMMUNITY REACTS WITH THOSE TO BE CONSIDERED. >> AS A. FACTOR IN TERMS OF NOT NOT SHOWING A TO A SELECTIVE GROUP OF UM CLERGY, UH, CITY COUNCILS

424
01:25:25.186 --> 01:25:36.364
. SO THAT IS THAT ROUTINE. YOU KNOW, UM THAT WOULD BE A REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE. I'LL SAY THIS OUR OUR GIVEN POLICY IS THAT WE WILL RELEASE

425
01:25:36.364 --> 01:25:48.843
IT THAT'S THAT'S AND WHEN WE'RE WHEN WE DO NOT RELEASE THAT THERE'S AN EXCEPTION TO IT BUT THAT EXCEPTION DOESN'T LAST FOREVER. AND THEN WHEN THE INVESTIGATION IS OVER AT THE EXCEPTIONS OVER THAT IS GOING TO RELEASE IT. SO TRANSPARENCY IS THE GOAL

426
01:25:48.843 --> 01:25:59.721
AROUND IT. BUT THE REALITY IS IF IT IMPACTS OUR INVESTIGATION OUR ABILITY TO HOLD SOMEONE ACCOUNTABLE THEN WE'RE GOING TO POSTPONE THAT UNTIL WE DO OUR PRIMARY FUNCTION AND THAT IS

427
01:25:59.721 --> 01:26:11.766
HOLDING UH WHOEVER IS VIOLATING SOME LAW OR YOU KNOW, LAW ENFORCEMENT ISSUE AROUND THAT BODY WORN CAMERA ACCOUNTABLE AND THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THAT INVESTIGATION. THEN IT WILL BE RELEASED.

428
01:26:11.766 --> 01:26:22.343
THANK THANK YOU COMMISSIONER I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE SUPERINTENDENT MCLAUGHLIN WHO IS VERY RESPONSIVE AND UM, PROVIDING PROVIDING A LOT

429
01:26:22.343 --> 01:26:34.088
OF GOOD FEEDBACK UM, TO THE RESIDENTS OF BOSTON. SO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SUPERINTENDENT MCLAUGHLIN'S PROFESSIONALISM AS WELL. MR CHAIR, UM, I'M OUT OF TIME. I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

430
01:26:34.088 --> 01:26:46.668
AS I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE, UM FURTHER QUESTIONS. DO YOU NEED MORE TIME RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO WRAP UP YOU'RE. >> GOING TO WRAP UM. AFTER CULPEPER. SO I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER. MISTER CHAIR OUT OF THE OUT

431
01:26:46.668 --> 01:27:00.048
OF RESPECT FOR MY COLLEAGUES, I'M GOING TO I'M NOT GOING TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR FLYNN. APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. COUNCIL. WELL, DO YOU HAVE ANY, UM, FURTHER QUESTIONS? JUST ONE LAST QUESTION. UH, TO A REQUEST. I THINK COUNCIL. LOUIJEUNE MIGHT HAVE ACCESS.

432
01:27:00.048 --> 01:27:11.960
>> BUT IF WE COULD GET. A LIST. OF, UM. I GUESS. >> IT'S FOR YOUR. REQUEST A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST. AND THEN THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN DENIED SO WE KIND OF COULD .

433
01:27:11.960 --> 01:27:25.740
SEE WHICH. YOU KNOW. >> WHAT ARE THE EXEMPTIONS AND WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON. UH, EXEMPTIONS. BEING USED FOR DENIAL? WE CAN WE COULD START WITH THAT REQUEST TO THE COMMITTEE. THANKS. >> THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER

434
01:27:25.740 --> 01:27:38.086
PRESENT. YEAH RIGHT. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO, UM. GO BACK. >> TO COUNCIL. OKAY. I'LL GIVE YOU FOUR MINUTES. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UH. >> COMMISSIONER, IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THE WAY DECISIONS ARE

435
01:27:38.086 --> 01:27:49.998
MADE ON THESE BODY CAMS, UH, ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS? YES. >> AND IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THE DECISIONS ARE MADE.

436
01:27:49.998 --> 01:28:02.477
THAT THE BIAS BUREAU CHIEF HAS THE AUTHORITY TO RELEASE OR MAKE A DECISION THAT THE COMMANDER OF THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT APPROVES OR DENIES REQUEST

437
01:28:02.477 --> 01:28:14.822
THAT A SUPERVISOR. UH HAS ACCESS AND THAT'S UNDER 6.5. THAT CAN. APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE REQUEST THAT THE COMMANDER ON

438
01:28:14.822 --> 01:28:30.972
THE SCENE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPROVE OR DENY THEIR REQUEST. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT. UM BUREAUS THAT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO. REVIEW. >> APPROVE OR DENY THE REQUEST,

439
01:28:30.972 --> 01:28:46.654
IT COMES DOWN TO THE FORM 26. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH FORM 26. I KNOW IT FORM 26 IS OUR YES. UM LET. >> ME JUST READ THIS TO YOU IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT

440
01:28:46.654 --> 01:29:00.168
PRACTICE SET AN OFFICER RECEIVE A SUBPOENA FOR BODY WORN CAMERAS FOOTAGE. THE OFFICER SHALL DIRECT THE SUBPOENA TO THE SUPERVISOR WITH A FORM 26.

441
01:29:00.168 --> 01:29:12.814
SO WHEN THE OFFICER DIRECTS THE. OFFICER WITH THE SUBPOENA TO A FORM 26. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCEDURE

442
01:29:12.814 --> 01:29:25.426
FOR WHEN A FORM 26 IS APPROVED OR NOT APPROVED? JUST TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE FORM 26 IS. IT'S A IT'S A BASICALLY A REPORT WHERE THE OFFICER A

443
01:29:25.426 --> 01:29:36.671
FORMAL WAY OF THE OFFICER REPORTING SOMETHING INTERNALLY AND WHAT THAT REPORT WOULD BE IS BASICALLY SOMEONE IS MAKING A FOYER REQUEST IN HIS MOVE AND DIRECTING IT TO OUR SECTION

444
01:29:36.671 --> 01:29:49.150
OF TO MAKE THE UH, DECISION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT'S GOING TO BE POLICE. AND THEN UNDER THAT FOR YOU. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, COUNSELOR, THE SECTION THAT YOU'RE READING FROM IS SPECIFICALLY FROM SECTION 8.1,

445
01:29:49.150 --> 01:30:00.628
WHICH IS ABOUT RIGHT LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCESS. SO I WOULD CONSIDER IF AN OFFICER IN THE COURSE OF A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION LIKELY RESULTING FROM AN INCIDENT THAT THEY RESPONDED TO RECEIVES A

446
01:30:00.628 --> 01:30:11.005
SUBPOENA FROM EITHER THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OR DEFENSE COUNCILOR FOR FOOTAGE THAT MAY BE EVIDENCE AS PART OF A CRIMINAL CASE, NOT AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING BUT A CRIMINAL CASE.

447
01:30:11.005 --> 01:30:23.584
THE PROCESS FOR THAT OFFICER TO GET THE FOOTAGE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS RELEASED APPROPRIATELY IS TO SUBMIT THAT REQUEST WITH A FORM 26 THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. SO FORM 26 IS ARE NOT USED AT

448
01:30:23.584 --> 01:30:35.263
ALL IN AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING. FORM 26 IS A IT'S A GENERAL TERM FOR A DOCUMENT USED INTERNALLY IN A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES. >> NO BUT THERE IS A FORM 26 RIGHT.

449
01:30:35.263 --> 01:30:48.376
IF I'M 26 THIS IS JUST AN INTERNAL IT'S AN INTERNAL FORM THAT ALL OFFICERS USE UH TO COMMUNICATE INTERNALLY HERE AND THAT'S WHAT WE REFER TO FORM 26. >> IT'S NOT SPECIFIC TO BODY WORN CAMERAS SOME. >> PEOPLE BUT WHAT.

450
01:30:48.376 --> 01:31:00.288
I'M ASKING WITH. REGARD TO BODY WORN CAMERAS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE IT SAYS. THIS IS. >> AN PROSECUTOR'S HOLD ON DEPUTY.

451
01:31:00.288 --> 01:31:11.399
SO LOCAL PROSECUTORS SHALL MAKE A REQUEST FOR BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE DIRECTLY TO THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT. SO IS A VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT RIGHT THAT CONTROLS ALL BODY

452
01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:23.744
WORN CAMERAS IN THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT RIGHT. THERE THE KEEPER OF THOSE RIGHT. RIGHT RIGHT. AND IT SAYS THE OFFICER SHALL

453
01:31:23.744 --> 01:31:36.224
DIRECT A SUBPOENA TO THE SUPERVISOR WITH A FORM 26 REGARDING BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE. SO MY QUESTION IS WHEN THERE'S

454
01:31:36.224 --> 01:31:49.070
A REQUEST FOR THE BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE. THEY'RE DIRECTED TO USE THE FORM 20:06. >> A.M. I CORRECT. I JUST READ IT TO YOU. YES BECAUSE IT GOES IT EXPLAINS IT'S JUST THAT.

455
01:31:49.070 --> 01:32:00.414
A REPORT NO NO. NO QUESTION RECEIVED DO. USE THE FORM 26 RIGHT AND THE FORM 26 THEN GOES THROUGH WHAT PROCESS. ONCE BUT.

456
01:32:00.414 --> 01:32:12.860
ONCE YOU SEE THE INTERNAL. FORMS NO I. UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND THAT I UNDERSTAND. >> THAT SOMEONE. REQUEST WHAT'S THE PROCESS ONCE YOU GET A FORM 26 THAT'S REQUESTING BODY WORN CAMERA

457
01:32:12.860 --> 01:32:25.206
FOOTAGE. SO I. I THINK YOU HAVE TO IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SENTENCE IN ITS ENTIRETY IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS. >> SECTION NO. >> NO NO I UNDERSTAND. >> I. UNDERSTAND I. >> JUST. WANT TO KNOW I'M GOING TO. PROTOCOL I'M GOING TO. WHAT DO YOU DO TO YOUR QUESTION. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

458
01:32:25.206 --> 01:32:35.316
I'M GOING TO TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SO THE POLICY DICTATES THAT PROSECUTOR SHALL MAKE REQUEST DIRECTLY TO THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT. RIGHT. BUT SHOULD AN OFFICER RECEIVE A

459
01:32:35.316 --> 01:32:45.893
SUBPOENA DIRECTLY FOR FOOTAGE THE OFFICER SHALL THEN FORWARD THE SUBPOENA ALONG WITH THE FORM 26 TO THE SUPERVISOR. THE 26 NOTIFIES THE SUPERVISOR THAT THE OFFICER RECEIVED A

460
01:32:45.893 --> 01:32:57.371
REQUEST AND IS PASSING IT ALONG AND THEN THAT GOES TO THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT FOR RESPONSE TO REVIEW TO ENSURE THAT UNDER THE POLICY RELEASE OF THE FOOTAGE IS APPROPRIATE AND THAT WOULD

461
01:32:57.371 --> 01:33:10.785
INCLUDE THE EXEMPTIONS THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT. RIGHT. >> AND THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT DOES WHAT ONCE THEY RECEIVE THAT FORM 26 IT'S NOT. >> THE. FORM 26 IT WOULD BE. IT WOULD BE ATTACHED TO A SUBPOENA.

462
01:33:10.785 --> 01:33:23.197
YOU COULD MISS A LAWYER. THE QUESTION IS WHAT DO THEY DO WITH IT ONCE THEY GIVE IT TO THE VIDEO. IT DEPENDS EVIDENCE. UNIT IT DEPENDS WITH WHAT'S. >> THE. PROTOCOL IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE REQUEST IS AND WHO IS

463
01:33:23.197 --> 01:33:35.142
REQUESTING. NO NO NO SOMEONE. FROM A LOT OF FROM A POLICE DEPARTMENT IN SPRINGFIELD. RIGHT RIGHT. AND SO. WHAT THEN. HAPPENS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET TO. WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL OF HOW IT'S

464
01:33:35.142 --> 01:33:46.387
PROCESSED. >> THEN THAT SUBPOENA WITH THE FORM 26 FROM THE OFFICER GOES TO THE VIA THE REFERENCE UNIT. RIGHT. WE WOULD MOST LIKE GET A CALL IN MY OFFICE WE RECEIVE THIS IS IT OKAY TO RELEASE THIS TO. >> THAT.

465
01:33:46.387 --> 01:33:57.832
DEPARTMENT AND IT'S FOR IF IT'S FOR A LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES. RELEASE THAT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING WITH THE SO SO. NOW THE PHONE 26 GOES DOWN. THERE PARTNER AGENCIES AND

466
01:33:57.832 --> 01:34:07.508
THEY'RE SET UP AUTOMATICALLY ON CASES OUTSIDE DEPARTMENTS ALL OVER THE STATE OR IN ANOTHER STATE I'M SET UP LIKE THAT. SO SO MY FINAL QUESTION.

467
01:34:07.508 --> 01:34:24.925
THE ONLY OFFICERS THAT WILL USE A FORM 26 FOR BODY WORN CAMERAS FOOTAGE. ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT. I KNOW. >> IT'S AN INTERNAL FORM.

468
01:34:24.925 --> 01:34:40.608
I UNDERSTAND AND IT'S IN. BUT THAT'S. >> THE PROCEDURE OF THAT THEY WOULD BEGIN WITH TO MAKE THE REQUEST OF BODY. >> WORN CAMERA. FOOTAGE AND THAT THAT LIMITED THAT LIMITED. THAT THEY'RE. >> DESCRIBING WHERE THEY GOT IT

469
01:34:40.608 --> 01:34:52.119
GOT SOMETHING DIRECTLY TO THEM . THAT'S HOW THEY WOULD MAKE IT MOVE IT INTO THE VIDEO OF ITS UNIT. CAN I GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE SIR? NO, NO THERE MAY BE A. THERE MAY BE. >> A. CIVIL CASE GOING ON IT. CIVIL LAWYERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO

470
01:34:52.119 --> 01:35:03.864
SUBPOENA THINGS. THEY MAKE SOUP. I PLACE OFFICE AND. I WORK WITH. THAT POLICE OFFICER RIGHTS OF 426 SAYING I'VE RECEIVED A SUBPOENA TO SHOW UP AND TESTIFY

471
01:35:03.864 --> 01:35:17.311
AND BRING THIS VIDEO. AND IF HIS BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE IT WOULD THEN GO TO THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE OFFICER COULD. >> GET. THAT RIGHT. >> AND THE VIDEO EVIDENCE UNIT

472
01:35:17.311 --> 01:35:30.357
WOULD THEN SEND IT TO YOU. THEY POTENTIALLY MIGHT BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION IF IT. DOESN'T COME TO YOUR ATTENTION. MY QUESTION WHERE DOES IT GO? DOES IT WORK ITS WAY UP TO THE

473
01:35:30.357 --> 01:35:44.071
COMMISSIONER TO APPROVE IT? THAT WOULD BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. COUNSELOR, I THINK JUST. >> CAN I JUST CLARIFY ONE THING BECAUSE YOU MENTIONED. YOU MENTIONED. >> THAT. YOU MENTIONED THE SECTION ON

474
01:35:44.071 --> 01:35:58.686
THE BIAS BUREAU CHIEF AND. ALLOWING PEOPLE GOT. ACCESS OF ALL. >> THE. I JUST. >> WANT TO. >> MAKE SURE I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT THAT. MEANS OKAY. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND. WHEN THE. >> FIREARMS DISCHARGE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM GOES OUT AND

475
01:35:58.686 --> 01:36:09.864
INVESTIGATES ANY DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM, THE OFFICER'S BODY WORN CAMERAS ARE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN AND IT'S UPLOADED AND THE VIDEO EVIDENCE REPRESENTATIVE WHO COMES TO THE SCENE

476
01:36:09.864 --> 01:36:20.407
IMMEDIATELY RESTRICTS. ACCESS TO THAT TO A VERY LIMITED GROUP USUALLY THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM WHAT THIS WHAT THAT SAYS THERE WHEN IT MENTIONS THE BIS CHIEF IS THAT

477
01:36:20.407 --> 01:36:32.052
I HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPAND THAT GROUP IF PERHAPS THEY ADDED INVESTIGATORS OR SOMEONE ELSE THAT HAD A NEED AND RIGHT TO KNOW WITHIN THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM I CAN ADD TO IT. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT ACCESS.

478
01:36:32.052 --> 01:36:42.997
MEANS IN THAT CASE IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING PUBLICLY OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT MEANS WHO CAN WHO CAN SEE IT WITHIN THE INVESTIGATIVE TEAM AND THE IDEA IS TO KEEP IT A VERY SMALL GROUP SO THAT WE'RE

479
01:36:42.997 --> 01:36:54.408
ABLE TO WORK THE INVESTIGATION WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE WITHOUT OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT HAVING ACCESS TO IT AND THE YOU KNOW, THE RISK THAT GOES ALONG WITH. BUT THAT'S WHAT ANYBODY WANT

480
01:36:54.408 --> 01:37:05.486
CAMERA THEY BRING IT IN TO UPLOAD IT. BUT NO WHAT I'M SAYING IS IN AN OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING THAT IS UPLOADED AND THEN IMMEDIATELY RESTRICTED SO I COULD AND IF I WANTED TO GO

481
01:37:05.486 --> 01:37:15.763
WATCH A BODY WORN CAMERA FROM AN INCIDENT YESTERDAY NOT NOT AN OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING AND I WANTED TO GO IN THERE, I COULD GO IN AND LOOK UNDER THE I KNOW THE INCIDENT NUMBER. I COULD LOOK UNDER THE OFFICER AND I COULD PULL THAT VIDEO UP

482
01:37:15.763 --> 01:37:26.440
AND I COULD WATCH IT ALL RIGHT. IN THE CASE OF AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING THAT IS IMMEDIATELY RESTRICTED SO THAT NOBODY IN THE DEPARTMENT CAN LOOK AT IT WITHIN WITH EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE GIVEN

483
01:37:26.440 --> 01:37:37.484
ACCESS AS INVESTIGATORS OR AGAIN UNDER UNDER MY AUTHORITY OR THE COMMISSIONER IF HE TOLD ME TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO ADD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE BECAUSE OF A PARTICULAR REASON, MAYBE THE

484
01:37:37.484 --> 01:37:48.562
INVESTIGATIVE GROUP GOT BIGGER. UH, MAYBE THERE'S SOME REASON THAT WE HAVE TO ADD SOMEBODY IN THERE. SO THAT'S I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THAT THAT'S NOT ABOUT RELEASING THAT IS ONLY ABOUT A LIMITED ACCESS AND

485
01:37:48.562 --> 01:37:59.139
OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING. THAT'S TO UPLOAD IT. NO IT'S UPLOADED IT'S. LOCKED IN ITS UPLOAD AND IT'S LOCKED. DOWN RIGHT OKAY. AND THEN IT'S JUST AS I SAID SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE CAN SEE

486
01:37:59.139 --> 01:38:07.948
THAT OTHER OUTSIDE OF THAT NOBODY IN THE DEPARTMENT. WELL LET ME ASK YOU THIS IF AN OFFICER BASED ON 4.2 WANTED TO

487
01:38:07.948 --> 01:38:19.493
THEN SEE HIS OWN BODY WORN CAMERA FOOTAGE, WOULD HE BE ABLE TO SEE WITH HIS LAWYER THE. OFFICER YET NOT WITHOUT GIVEN BEING GIVEN.

488
01:38:19.493 --> 01:38:31.972
ACCESS SO THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP THAT HAVE ACCESS ON AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING A DISCHARGE IS IS VERY SMALL. DOES THAT INCLUDE THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION?

489
01:38:31.972 --> 01:38:43.284
YES IT. DOES AND SO THE SUPERVISOR IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION COULD THEN SAY OFFICER NOW YOU CAN GO IN WITH YOUR ATTORNEY TO LOOK AT THE BODY WORN CAMERA

490
01:38:43.284 --> 01:38:54.962
OF THE SHOOTING THAT YOU WERE INVOLVED IN. WELL ACCORDING TO THIS RULE THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN YES. BUT AS I SAID. >> TO. COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE IN THE CASE OF A FATAL OR A LIKELY TO DIE WHERE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S

491
01:38:54.962 --> 01:39:07.775
OFFICE IS EXERTING THEIR THEIR AUTHORITY AS THE OVERALL LEAD OF THE INVESTIGATION, THEIR POLICY IS IN THOSE CASES THAT THE OFFICER IS NOT ALLOWED TO WATCH THAT VIDEO BEFORE THEY

492
01:39:07.775 --> 01:39:19.219
GIVE A STATEMENT. SO THERE IS THERE IS AN EXCEPTION. IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN OUR RULE. BECAUSE OF WHAT IT SAYS HERE BUT IT'S. THEIR POLICY. SO I SAID IT. EARLIER HERE. SO COUNCILOR. >> YOU DO BRING UP A GOOD POINT. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE RULES AND STUFF.

493
