Council Member Stevens inquires about the implementation of DOI recommendations for enhancing camera coverage in jails. The discussion reveals that not all recommendations have been fully implemented.

DOI recommended enhancing camera coverage to correct blind spots and extend to janitor closets and other rooms where officers interact with persons in custody
DOI also recommended retaining camera footage for one year
DOC admits that not all recommendations have been implemented
Current DOC retention policy for camera footage is 90 days, not the recommended one year
The Commissioner acknowledges the need to review the 2018 DOI report recommendations

By December, you think that that you'll be able to have that recommendation.

2:01:28

Yes.

2:01:28

Okay.

2:01:29

DOI has recommended that the gel camera coverage be enhanced to correct corrected for blind spots and extended to cover janitor clauses and other closet room that officers are assessed with such as person assist with as with persons in custody.

They also recommended that DOE should retain footage from each camera for 1 year.

2:01:51

Have all those recommendations been implemented?

It does not sound that that way because we don't have our retention policies 90 days.

2:02:01

So that was not all the recommendations have not been accepted.

2:02:04

I'll take a look at those recommendations.

2:02:07

That's from a 2018 report.

Mercedes Narcisse

Yes.

2:02:10

Okay.
