The District Attorney’s Office is mindful of agencies wanting to move to BWC systems <br />but is concerned with the potential for multiple BW C vendor platforms and software <br />viewing protocols that may result. Multiple BWC viewing protocols decrease the <br />efficiency and uniformity in receiving and reviewing evidence for DA issuing attorneys. <br />To resolve this potential for lost efficiency, at this time the DA does not support the use <br />of BWC systems that allow sending video files with proprietary software viewing directly <br />to the DA and instead requires that agencies produce video evidence on compact disks <br />(CDs). Notably, moving away from CD burning of video files to a more efficient cloud file <br />viewing and BWC evidence transfer method is advantageous to both law enforcement <br />and the DA and was expressed as a long-term consideration of the DA; this would be <br />most feasible if agencies purchased that same BWC device and viewing software. The <br />overarching result is BWC evidence production will need to stay with existing labor- <br />intense production for a considerable time to come. Of additional noteworthy concern, <br />expressed by the DA, is the concern about County IT internet infrastructure speed and <br />computer capability to view the volume of HD video projected to be reviewed. Any <br />delay in infrastructure development could result in delays for technological efficiency <br />that may be available with some BWC systems. <br />As a result of the increased volume in labor intense work projected for BWC video <br />evidence production, one full-time employee (FTE) Property Clerk is required. <br />Sample Implementation Plan Timeline (Subject to Council Approval) <br /> <br />Note: The project start time of January-2017 is a placeholder referencing a 6-month implementation plan. <br />6.1.A. - Page 15
