Moving beyond the basic technical operation of the equipment, the curriculum emphasizes practical application and leadership integration.
Participants will explore the history and evolution of body worn camera technology, techniques for clear and effective narration during incidents, and the role of supervisory review in strengthening accountability and oversight. A key focus is understanding visual perspective, highlighting how an officer’s real-time perception during an incident may differ from how events appear on camera footage.
