6.D. - Page 58 of 179 There are 4 auto triggers that activate the video recording. 1) Light -bar activation 2) Speed greater than 80 Mph 3) Belt microphone activation 4) G -Sensor \ accident awareness The Sheriffs Office recognizes in -car computer video systems are a proven technology supported by established policies and procedures. The Sheriffs Office is interested in wearable camera technologies and understands their potential benefits. That said, wearable technologies are not as field -proven as in -car cameras, and, policies and procedures for wearable devices are evolving. The Sheriffs Office acquired an in -car camera system that is plug -compatible with a wearable camera system. The plan for the Sheriff's Office is to use our new in -car computer video immediately and become familiar with not only the use of in -car computer video but also become familiar with the management, use and storage of video content. At a future date, the Sheriff's Office will revisit the use of wearable cameras. Recommendation #3 The Grand Jury recommends that the police departments of those cities, towns, and the Broadmoor Police Protection District that have not adopted body -worn cameras implement a body -worn camera system as soon as practicable but, in any event, no later than October 31, 2017. Refer to the response to Recommendation #4. Recommendation #4 The Grand Jury recommends that the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office implement a body -worn camera system as soon as practicable but, in any event, no later than October 31, 2017. The Sheriffs Office believes an implementation date of October 31, 2017, is achievable. Implementation will depend upon what it learns as it continues to evaluate the technology and process, and available funding. The Sheriff's Office appreciates the efforts of the Grand Jury and has cooperated fully with all requests. The Sheriff is open to implementing body -worn camera technology in the future. Sincerely, Carlos G. Bolanos Sheriff C: Board of Supervisors County Manager 97
