BODYCAM analysis

Real incidents examined through law enforcement policy, procedure, and decision-making — not hindsight speculation.

Body-worn cameras capture only part of an incident — not intent, not training, and not the split-second decisions officers are required to make. Our analysis focuses on what the camera shows, what policy requires, and what officers are trained to do in real time.

BEFORE YOU WATCH…

Body-worn camera footage captures only part of an incident. It does not show intent, training, prior information, or the full environment officers are responding to.

Our analysis focuses on policy, procedure, and real-time decision-making, not hindsight judgment. We evaluate what officers are trained to do, what the camera shows — and what it cannot — within the constraints of rapidly evolving situations.
