CBC 电台 Beyond The Badge: Police Body Cameras

 

CBC Windsor is taking a  hard look at police in the city leading up to a public town hall on Wednesday night. We invite you to join us with your questions about what you want from the Windsor police services , the new (     ) public accountability one of the biggest prosperities, and he will be here on our  panel taking your questions , ( tabling?)  Wednesday at the Capital theater starting at 8 o'clock, it is free, just stop by. Now one of the ways simply services have improved the accountabilities is through to use the video cameras , usually  are (  ) at the dashboard at their cars . in Edmonton they are gonna step fast, they are trying out body  cameras. Superintendent Ed Keller, the Edmonton police services is on the telephone . Good morning sir! Good morning! What about the cameras? Well, body camera is a body worn video is a video camera that attached to the officer and that video will phone the officers around and them, I guess it works differently (    )cell phone from the camera does(   ) in the car . this camera actually follow the office into the home or outside the car and to the back (   ) and has the abilities to   the tape or receive audio and the voice and the video what's happening and what the officer can see . The particular model were are casting right now is the one just (   ) in serving the (   ) area  and the officer can tape variant directions  the officer is facing . So does the police officer physically use this thing? So we develop some policies for them  so that they can determine when to use it , we do know want them whether in general patrol, or generally  walking down the street going about their duties to be taping people around them,  we are not about investigating at that point, really we have no interest  in having people as part of previous police record. However, when they are dispatching to a call from the public or when they come (   ) discover and they've got now, a legal  duty to investigate that point they will turn on the camera and they will allow the camera to tape the video and the voice while they are investigating that particular incidence . You surely talked about the specific scenario whether  this should be useful, can you ah help me out with one of those? I would say really any scenario is (    ) police,  we can have  the independent  accurate and objective (   )  correction of the reaction between a whatever officer and a member of the public (   ) engaging their duties , but any one of those  set the time to have the abilities to go back and have a good (   ) collection effected by, you know , subject thing like a person recalling as thing that they can recall, anyone of those are interests  to us , anything from the camera would actually be  collecting evidence , you know, of what a person may have  looked  like, (   ) those type of things, all of we up to one of the questions of a contact  the abilities to have something independent accurate and objective is a great interest . I am wondering if the officer inform people in a particular scene they are in fact being videotaped , they do , they hold intend of the video is not that in any way of  hiding and the device itself is worn in open(   ) visible and the policy will develop and we are really testing  right now , we require the officer to tell the person that they are being taped. What will the footage  be used for, what can the footage be used for? (   )the  footages can  be use for in many things could be used for evidence so there is any result in criminal charges and the footages could be used for evidence in anything from procedural matter or what  the person received , they have the right to cancel those types of things , to collect  the evidence, everything the officers see will hoping  the camera is also  taping, it can be used to access  training for (   ) purposes (   ) review and be able to response the trainees, it can be used  also  for helping us when we face when obligation from the member of public about behaviors , we can use it for those purposes too,  I know you can speak to whether  is happening here in Windsor nor would I expect you to,  but  generally speaking how do you think to use this camera might be improving the accountabilities and the public threat , will any police agency including  yours?  you know we are really  going to  be looking to answer some of those questions should be studying, and, you know, I  am not sure  the technology or ever , you never(   )ever can answer some of those questions , however, you know if the technology  holds subject as promises  and you know we can show that we can bring about increase the accountability through this device , you know , it can only help , you know, we are working hard here to resolve a lot of  technical issues , now to do that, we are gonna to do the assessment to see if from the public point of view , how they are being received and  if we are in fact seeing the improvement in the way we are from the public . So Superintend Ed Keller, good to be talking with you.
