I will be serving on Columbus, OH’s Police Body Camera Committee.
Over at the Dispatch:
Mayor Michael B. Coleman has announced a nine-member committee to help the city deploy body cameras for 1,800 Columbus police officers by the end of next year.
The committee is to make formal recommendations on how, when and where officers will use the cameras.
The committee also will recommend what images captured by the cameras will be public records.
