ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Police Accountability Board (PAB) discussed ways to make officers’ body camera footage more accessible to the public during its monthly meeting at City Hall Thursday.
The meeting followed a recommendation to the Rochester Police Department to change its surveillance policies. The board emphasized the need for these changes to maintain appropriate oversight.
“More times than not, we’re going to see officers do their job…it’s important for the community to understand what happened,” Dr. Lesli Myers-Small, executive director of the Police Accountability Board, said.
According to the PAB, RPD hasn’t completed a privacy impact assessment for body-worn cameras since they were implemented in 2017. RPD says it will need time to review the report before giving News10NBC a comment on it.
A recent report from the Police Accountability Board found that Black and Hispanic neighborhoods have been three times more likely to be monitored by police cameras.
