Understanding the Benefits and Risks of Police Body Cameras

Daniel Linskey, Managing Director and head of Kroll's Boston office, and Alan Brill, Senior Managing Director in Kroll's Cyber Risk practice, discuss the topic of police body cameras in their op-ed that was published in The Boston Globe. Dan and Alan highlight several critical implications related to the use of police body cameras, many of which have received little or no attention in the rush to deploy these devices.

The issues that Dan and Alan have identified as being relevant for decision-makers as well as communities run from the technological (e.g., how will departments store and protect the huge volumes of data that are sure to be captured and recorded) to governance-related questions, such as those that pertain to auditing procedures, privacy concerns, and access controls.
