Caution signs examples

In 2018, a Texas state trooper’s body camera refuted sexual assault claims a woman made against the trooper after she was pulled over for allegedly driving while intoxicated. The allegations were promptly and conclusively refuted after a review of video footage gathered from the officer’s body-worn camera revealed no wrongdoing on the Trooper’s part.

While implementing body-worn cameras may have significant benefits for law enforcement, the cost of implementation can prove to be a barrier. Government Technology recently reported that Massachusetts police departments were embracing BWC, but finding the costs to be prohibitive. In addition to investing in the camera units, there is also the cost of managing the cameras and the associated data.

You should always post or mount safety signage inside and outside wherever hazards are present. But how do you know which types of signage applies to each hazard?

According to the Police Executive Research Forum, by 2020, nearly 79 percent of local police officers worked in departments that used BWCs, and all departments serving 1 million or more residents reported using body cameras. Similar increases were reported in sheriff offices, with more than 68 percent using BWCs in 2020.

The report also says that BWCs have reduced the number of citizen complaints against law enforcement. According to the report, it was difficult to ascertain whether complaints went down because officers behaved differently on camera, or because citizens filed fewer unfounded complaints, knowing the interactions were recorded. Either way, fewer complaints is a positive result.

For many officers, video footage from body-worn cameras can feel like a layer of protection. It provides a clearer understanding of what happens during their public encounters and offers a more complete narrative of what transpired when the facts of an incident are contested.

Businesses in any industry benefit when they adhere to OSHA regulations with safety and regulatory signage. Affordable safety signs offered by Signs By Tomorrow help your business meet all its safety requirements.

Through the years there have been many claims about the perceived benefits and negative effects of body cameras, not only from the media and public opinion but from police officers themselves.
