Body worn cameras (BWCs) continue to prove beneficial for law enforcement agencies across the country. In a recent study by the University of Chicago Crime Lab and the Council on Criminal Justice’s Task Force on Policing, it’s shown that when BWCs are worn, complaints against the police drop by seventeen percent. When it comes to purchasing BWCs, it is important to note that they are not all created equal.
