Many local law enforcement agencies that currently do not employ body -worn <br />cameras acknowledge that these systems are beneficial and will likely be implemented in <br />the future either voluntarily or by mandate. <br />Response: <br />The City of San Bruno understands what is represented in the Grand Jury Report.
