1.Approval of January and March minutes
Cannot approve this meeting.
2.Body-worn camera (BWC) draft policy progress
PAC met with MAC and HRC in April about the draft BWC policy.
Commissioners Ellen, Matt and Michael met as a group to discuss thoughts
on BWC. HRC and PAC held a community forum on April 10 on the general
idea of implementing a BWC policy. PAC is to come up with a written
document about thoughts and changes to be made to draft by mid-May.
Commissioner Michael shared that one of the biggest concerns was that the
officer can view the video before they write a report. Other concerns found
within the community was visibility of the camera, what is considered an
adversarial encounter, getting the opinions of public defenders.
Overall the HRC did not have many concerns with the implementation of the
BWC policy.
The subcommittee will come up with the BWC policy document to give Chief
Harcey. Will meet on May 7, 2018 at 7:15 p.m.
