Abstract

This research looks at the Rochester Police Department and their use of body worn cameras and how they address the concerns of the community through them. Specifically, we examine the quality of footage obtained by BWC, the extent to which official reports of use of force match those recorded on BWC. This research also seeks to better understand two other important facets of policing captured within BWC footage: police emotional affect and de-escalation techniques and police use of procedural justice approaches. As a group of researchers, we created a coding dictionary to answer our research question topics which included procedural justice and the quality of the BWCs for the RPD. The primary audience for the presentation is to be used at professional conferences as we have shared our research within multiple conferences outside Fisher.
