When
Sergeant Christopher Andreacola has been a member of the Tucson Police Department for almost thirty-three years. He currently serves as the head of the Department’s Video Analysis and Management Unit with the responsibility of conducting forensic video analysis and management of the Department’s body worn and in-car video programs. Video recordings are a growing trend among law enforcement to protect officers, agencies and the public. However, the current equipment and conditions they record under do not produce the "pictures" that the public expects. This is particularly evident in impaired driving cases, where the evidence is short-lived. This talk aims to educate us about the issues with officers utilizing body cameras while in the field, and whether departments can and should change their current mobile video practices.
