In recent years, the push for greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement has grown significantly. One powerful tool in this movement is the footage captured by police in-car camera systems, commonly known as dash cams. These systems provide an objective record of police interactions, incidents, and patrol activities, offering a wealth of information that can be used in various ways. One such use is for public transparency reports. This blog explores how footage from police in-car camera systems can contribute to public transparency, the benefits and challenges of this practice, and best practices for implementation.
