I. POLICY
The Delray Beach Police Department will implement a Body Worn Camera (BWC) program.
The program's primary focus is to record, store, and allow public disclosure of body-worn
video. Users must also continue to follow all other guidelines governing the deployment of
video recording systems as outlined in G.O. 1307 Mobile Digital Recorder. It is the policy
of the Delray Beach Police Department to utilize a body worn camera to document law
enforcement interactions with the public by providing recorded evidence of actions,
conditions and statements that could be used for judicial, internal review, or by the public
through formal request. Police officers, detectives, and Community Service Officers have a
legal right to capture and record footage during all official interactions.
Failure to comply with this Order may result in discipline up to and including termination.
