Project Abstract

Body-Worn Camera Expansion Program

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police (PBP) serves a city of more than 305,000 residents and encompasses more than

58 square miles. While Pittsburgh is rarely mentioned in national media alongside the likes of Ferguson or Baltimore,

our history has been similarly plagued by economic and often physical segregation of African Americans into

pockets of entrenched poverty. Use-of-force incidents have contributed to a fraught relationship between our African

American residents and PBP. In 2014, officers had 280 misconduct complaints.

Purpose: Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is seeking $250,000 in grant funds to expand its body-worn camera program.

Goals:

1. Promote a sense of accountability and transparency throughout the PBP,

2. Protect the PBP and its members from liability resulting from wrongful accusations of misconduct,

3. Assist with investigations of alleged misconduct,

4. Improve training and correct internal agency problems.

Objectives:

1A: By the end of Year 1, implement communications outreach plan to inform and generate buy-in from both citizens

and officers about BWC program.

1B: By the end of Year 1, train 100% of officers with patrol activities and/or daily citizen interaction on BWC

equipment operation.

1C: By the end of Year 1, deploy all 200 BWC packages to officers with patrol activities and/or daily citizen

interaction.

1D: Throughout the life-cycle of the grant, distribute surveys on to gauge the evolution of attitudes related to PBP

and BWCs.

2A: By the end of Year 1, increase the use of Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME) in adjudication by 25%.

2B: By the end of Year 2, increase the use of DME in adjudication by 50%.

3A: By the end of Year 1, decrease the number of misconduct complaints by 25%.

3B: By the end of Year 2, decrease the number of misconduct complaints by 50%.

4A: By the end of year 1, PBP will be using DME regularly to investigate performance and conduct, in order to

identify problems and create opportunities for improved training.

4B: By the end of Year 2, integrate BWCs into training as a teaching tool.

4C: By the end of Year 2, integrate feedback from Urban Institute study and data collection into training.

Impact: After implementing a full-scale BWC program, PBP is perceived to be a legitimate and accountable agency,

citizens-officer and community relations have vastly improved, and a revised set of comprehensive BWC policies

were implemented.
