The deputy chief explains that body camera footage is reviewed to ensure interactions are within guidelines.
- Officers' supervisors and integrity control officers regularly review body camera footage from officers
- They conduct spot checks to look for any violations of guidelines
- For specific incidents like alleged jaywalking stops, they can review the body camera footage and conduct investigations if needed
- This allows oversight over enforcement like jaywalking summonses to ensure they follow proper procedures

And I know that's not necessarily very liked to say, but I had a quick question on the body camera footage.
1:30:02
Is our body camera is on when and they're supposed to be on correct with any interaction with someone in the public?
Deputy Chief Thomas Alps
1:30:09
That's correct.

Are we regularly reviewing in these offhand instances where, like, in reference to what the majority whip stated with the video, I think we all saw where officers went in after into a store with with young people.
1:30:27
Stating that they were jaywalking, like, do we review that in in that moment kind of with any of these off fan interactions, or or is it just complete basis?
1:30:37
How how are those instances sort of it?
Deputy Chief Thomas Alps
1:30:40
That's a That's a great point you made, and and I apologize and then bring that up.
1:30:44
So with that technology, we can review these these stops to make sure that they are within guidelines.
1:30:50
And they don't go against our administrative guidelines.
1:30:56
So that's our ability.
1:30:57
And And our executive officers and and and the integrity control officers in each command and direct supervisors on a regular review a certain amount of body worn cameras from their subordinates or or those officers throughout the command, and they do spot checks.
1:31:17
This could be an area where we could pinpoint and we can make sure that we're not outside guidelines when we're making this type of enforcement.
1:31:30
So we can make it a a pinpoint oversight if you wanted to.
1:31:35
We we understand that this was this incident resulted in a j walk summons.
1:31:41
Let's look at the body worn camera, and we can do an investigation.
1:31:44
If we wanted to have that deep oversight on each Jaywalker summons that's issued year to date.
