Body cameras are rapidly becoming the norm in communities across the country. Campaign Zero reviewed available police department body camera policies from the largest 30 cities in America to determine whether this new technology is being implemented in ways that ensure accountability and fairness while protecting communities from surveillance. This was done by looking at factors such as camera usage and coverage, fairness, transparency, privacy, and accountability for the officers in these major cities.
