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

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

… 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

2. Processes
• 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

3. Collaboration & Communication
•
•
•
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

September 2013
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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

Rialto P.D. California
T/Insp 3908 Darren Henstock
Serving our communities, protecting them from harm
The problem
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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?
The Challenges
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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
Cameras in Police Use
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
•
61% of police departments used video cameras in patrol cars in
2007. (U.S. Department of Justice 2010)
•
Cameras are likely to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
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)
Evidence on Cameras
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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.
Research Questions
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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?
Research Design
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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.
Results - complaints

Results – Use of force
Serving our communities,

Summary
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• 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
Further work
Serving our communities,
protecting them from harm
• Randomised Control Trial in the West Midlands supported
by Cambridge University in order to replicate Rialto
project.

POLICE BODY WORN CAMERA:
DISCLOSURE AND
IDENTIFICATION ISSUES
DISCLOSURE ISSUES
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)
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
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
RELEVANT MATERIAL
• Once bodyworn camera footage is identified
as relevant to an investigation, it must be
retained by the investigator (Code of Practice
CPIA paragraph 5.1)
• Retention for the time periods in paragraphs
5.7- 5.10: NFA decision/ acquittal or 6 months
after conviction or on the defendant’s release
from custody (if later than 6 months after
conviction )
• All relevant footage must be scheduled on
MG6C
EVIDENTIAL FOOTAGE
• Page 16 National File Standard (part of
Director’s Guidance on Charging)
• Copies of the footage must accompany the
prosecution file and be served as Initial
Details of the Prosecution Case (IDPC) i.e.
first appearance
• Nothing is more likely to trigger an admission
and a guilty plea than the inclusion of this
• Any footage that establishes the offence
should be shown to the suspect in an
interview
IDENTIFICATION ISSUES
PITFALLS
• Where identification is in issue (or might be in
issue) in the criminal prosecution, extreme
care must be taken where it is intended to
show the footage to witnesses
NO KNOWN SUSPECT (1)
• The bodyworn camera footage is akin to
CCTV. There will be occasions where it is
appropriate to show the footage to persons
(usually police officers) for the purposes of
recognition
• This must be done in accordance with PACE
Code D 3.34- 3.37
NO KNOWN SUSPECT (2)
• D3.34- 3.37: persons must view the footage
individually; no collusion; no names should be
suggested; a contemporaneous record
should be made of the viewing on which the
court can gauge the reliability of the
recognition
• Wherever possible, avoid showing the
footage to eye witnesses: the weight to be
attached to any subsequent positive
identification at parade will be reduced
KNOWN SUSPECT
• The footage can be shown to persons who
are not non-eye witnesses for the purposes of
recognition even where there is a known
suspect (i.e. at stage where there is sufficient
evidence to arrest a suspect). Viewing
procedure must comply with D3.34- 3.37
• At known suspect stage, the footage must not
be shown to eye witnesses
