6. Body Worn VideoLocal Policing perspective on a managed project Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013

7. This is where we were…. • Two different cameras • Localised approach • Broken equipment • Undefined approach to support • resulting in a lack of trust and confidence in the equipment Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013

8. Let’s just get a few more cameras… • In reality, this meant • Too much technical change • Too much ground to cover across the whole county • Not enough, or the right people, to do all the doing Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013

9. … hmmm, let’s get a project manager • Small operational team needed some dedicated support • Provide some structure • Provide technical to business translation • Herd the cats Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013

17. The BWV project products2. Processes Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013 • For each work package the required processes are identified, agreed and documented using working groups and work shops • Processes are published in the policy database or via IT policy library • eg ITIL processes • Processes provide clear definitions of what, when and who, so that when the project is completed Business as Usual can proceed seamlessly

18. Draft Process Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013

19. The BWV project products3. Collaboration & Communication Body worn video - Steering Gp Sept 2013 • Involve subject matter experts from every area of organisational support and operations • Make sure all stakeholders are engaged with regularly, with no surprises • Make sure any risks and issues are addressed and managed by the senior stakeholders • The project manager’s role is to collate and assess issues and risks but not make the decisions • Collaboration ensures : • That all the knowledge is at the disposal of the project • That overlaps and resource bottlenecks are surfaced and managed • That as far as possible everyone is in the picture, in a way relevant to their role • That there is group ownership, not a single hero

22. Restricted Immigration Enforcement use of Body Worn VideoSupt Cleave Faulkner National Operations and Assurance September 2013

23. Why we are looking to use BWV • To increase number of successful illegal working Civil penalties and out of court settlements in favour of the Home Office • Reduce bureaucracy • Obtain better evidence to prosecute persistent offenders who continue to employ illegal workers

24. Other benefits for I E • Improve collating post critical incident data. • Reduce clearly unfounded/malicious complaints. • To capture evidence on contentious family visits • Improve officer safety. • Reassure the public. • Verify training/development needs by reviewing operational footage.

25. Plans for use of BWV We plan to issue BWV devices to Immigration Officers conducting enforcement visits. Officers will record entry to premises and interviews with those encountered. Evidence captured of illegal working will be made available to the team who pursue civil penalty action

26. Transcription Officers currently make verbatim notes of interviews With offenders and others encountered on the visit in Their personal notebook. They will no longer need to do this if the BWV Contextualizes what was actually seen and said. Officers will only need to produce a summary of the Interview and just exhibit the video in their statement

27. Pilot We will pilot the use of BWV with two Immigration Enforcement teams based in Manchester and Cardiff . A draft process will be amended in light of the result and findings of the pilot. Findings to support a national roll out to all Immigration Enforcement teams. WE NEED TO PROVE THE CASE AND DEMONSTRATE TANGIBLE BENEFITS

28. Business Benefits To reduce by 50% the time taken to complete illegal working interviews. 2012 saw over 14,500 operations Increase the number of illegal working detections Income generate to self sustain the deployment of Body Worn Video

29. Training Training on the use of BWV will be delivered to officers on group team basis with a full hands on approach We envisage holding a 2 hour training session with officers at the various Immigration Compliance Engagement (ICE) team locations.

30. Challenges Convincing staff to revise current practice in light of benefit and use of BWV - CULTURE Dealing with noise contamination Consistent national approach in evidence gathering

31. Work completed so far • Terms of reference and project mandate complete and agreed by senior managers • Policy and legal advice sought • Workshops with operational staff, service providers and stakeholders held • Initial guidance and process drafted

32. BWV Any Questions ?

35. West Midlands Police Body Worn Video Camera Experiment Rialto P.D. California T/Insp 3908 Darren Henstock Serving our communities, protecting them from harm

36. The problem • The public’s perception of police use of force continues to be a problem. • “Too many” incidents in which officers resort to use of force. • Misinterpretation of contact or aggressive behaviour? • “High number” of citizen complaints against police officers. • True officer misbehaviour or malicious complaints?

37. The Challenges • Reducing use of force and complaints without changing the frequency and nature of contact with the public • Requires third-party systematic observation that would scientifically measure both the implementation and the outcome of the practice • Cost effectiveness • Leadership – can we implement this research

38. Cameras in Police Use • 61% of police departments used video cameras in patrol cars in 2007. (U.S. Department of Justice 2010) • Cameras are likely to: • Improve accountability • Reduce complaints of police misconduct • Save thousands of dollars in court costs • Lower overtime costs for investigations and court appearances • Improve ability to collect evidence for trial • Increase professionalism by forcing officers to give more attention to following agency rules. (International Association of Police Chiefs, 2004)

39. Evidence on Cameras • Systematic review on CCTV – 44 studies show 16% reduction in crime compared to control conditions, but half accountable to car theft, not violent crime (Welsh and Farrington 2009). • Systematic review on cameras on roads – 35 studies show 44% reduction in fatal accidents (Wilson et al. 2010). • BWV – no formal evaluation.

40. Research Questions • Will wearing body-worn video cameras reduce the number of complaints against officers compared to the control group? • Will wearing body-worn video cameras reduce the number (instances) of use of force compared to the control group?

41. Research Design • Random assignment of all front-line officers to shifts with or without cameras • Taser Inc. HD cameras recording all police-public interactions for 12 months. • Went live 13th February 2012 after two weeks of Phase 1.

42. Results - complaints

43. Results – Use of force

44. Summary • Reduction in use of force incidents from 61 to 25. • Of the 25 use of force incidents, 17 were in control group and 8 in the experiment. • Of the 8 use of force incidents on the experiment days, all 8 were recorded on video • Reduction in complaints from 24 to 3. • Contacts increased from the previous years – no backfiring effect. • Survey of all officers before and during RCT shows no significant changes in officers’ self-legitimacy

45. Further work • Randomised Control Trial in the West Midlands supported by Cambridge University in order to replicate Rialto project. • Full Rialto presentation and wider implications can be found at: http://www.crim.cam.ac.uk/events/conferences/ebp/2013/slides/effects_of_body_worn_tony_farrar.pptx

46. POLICE BODY WORN CAMERA:DISCLOSURE AND IDENTIFICATION ISSUES

47. DISCLOSURE ISSUES

48. REASONABLE LINES OF ENQUIRY • In conducting an investigation, the investigator should pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry, whether these point towards or away from the suspect- Code of Practice CPIA paragraph 3.5 • Reasonable enquiries might involve a trawl for bodyworn camera evidence (akin to CCTV trawl or ANPR trawl etc)

49. RETENTION • It is important that bodyworn camera evidence is preserved for a reasonable period of time on the basis that it might become relevant material in any criminal investigation • Criminal investigation in respect of which the officer with bodyworn camera is in attendance or another investigation

50. ABUSE OF PROCESS • The criminal proceedings might be stayed for abuse of process if relevant bodyworn camera evidence is destroyed • The burden of proof is on the defence to prove that a fair trial is not possible • In any event, opportunities to bolster the prosecution case will be lost
