Department members may, but are not required to, inform individuals that they are being recorded. Department members are not required to obtain consent from members of the public when the member is lawfully in the area where the recording takes place. For example, a member who lawfully enters a business or residence shall record any enforcement or investigative contact in accordance with this policy, and is not required to obtain consent from members of the public who may also be present. Department members shall not playback body worn camera (BWC) recordings for any member of the public absent the need to do so for purposes of conducting or furthering an investigation or in exigent circumstances.
