Résumé
"The use of technology by law enforcement has been steadily increasing as devices
are created to suit the unique needs of the field. In-car video (ICV) devices have been
continually integrated and updated since the 1980s. Evaluations of this type of recording
device have shown that it has become a very useful tool within law enforcement.
Unfortunately, ICV systems only record 10% of what law enforcement officers actually
encounter. In more recent years, body-worn video (BWV) has found its way into the
hands of officers in the hopes to increase public perception and to reduce frivolous claims
against officers. Body-worn video can reduce expenditures in personnel time and
resources. Many local agencies have begun to take advantages of such technology."--Page 1.
