Body Worn Cameras: Comparing Human and Device to Ensure Unbiased Investigations. Blake, D., M.

Website abstract bibtex Law enforcement (LE) officers use of body worn cameras (BWCs) is rapidly increasing throughout the United States. The increased use is due to the belief that BWCs will improve professionalism, decrease complaints, and mitigate excessive force. Results from field trials support the effectiveness of BWCs for decreasing both the incidents of police use of force and citizen complaints. However, the few studies reviewing the effectiveness of BWCs have not addressed the human limitations and camera capabilities. Investigators should have knowledge in human factors science to protect against the bias BWC video may provide. This article highlights relevant human factors issues and provides a frame of reference for investigators to use when reviewing BWC video. The focus is on use-of-force applications captured on a BWC. The points discussed are the differences between what a human being perceives and is capable of remembering when compared to what a camera captures and reproduces. Human factors science can help investigators, LE executives, district attorneys, and judges understand that camera evidence is not a direct reproduction of what an officer experienced. BWC video should be viewed critically through the eyes of a human factors trained investigator to ensure unbiased opinions concerning the actions of the involved officer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
