Many local law enforcement agencies that currently do not employ body -worn cameras acknowledge that these <br />systems are beneficial and will likely be implemented in the future either voluntarily or by mandate. <br />Response: <br />The City agrees with this finding, relying on the Grand Jury's representations in their report. <br />Responses to Grand Jury Recommendations: <br />R1, The Grand Jury recommends that the councils of those cities/towns that have not adopted body -worn cameras <br />direct their respective chiefs of police to develop an appropriate body -worn camera implementation plan and <br />advise the public of their plan by November 30, 2016. <br />Response: <br />This recommendation requires further analysis of the costs and benefits of implementation, the appropriate technology to <br />use that integrates with the Police Department's current records management system, and competing priorities in the <br />Police Department. This analysis will be completed by November 1, 2016, and presented to the City Council for <br />discussion by November 30, 2016. <br />R3.
