2017 - Retention of Police Body Camera Footage

HB 291 (formerly HB 174) outlines a minimum retention policy to keep and store media recordings captured by police body cameras. This minimum retention policy will provide objective evidence to help resolve civilian complaints against police without significantly infringing on privacy. It also includes a requirement to keep videos of public interest, such as use of force videos or videos that capture events that constitute a criminal offense, to ensure increased government transparency.
