Pleasanton Police Department Pleasanton PD Policy Manual Body Worn Camera Systems h. maintaining the peace at a protest or rally; i. responding Code 3; j. any other situation where an officer or supervisor reasonably determines that its use would be appropriate or valuable to document an incident or record contact between members of the public and the department. Members who do not record as required by this policy shall articulate their reason(s) for not utilizing their BWCS in the appropriate CAD entry and/or report and in a memorandum to the Division Commander immediately after the conclusion of the incident, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. It shall be a violation of this policy for a members to intentionally fail to activate the BWCS or terminate the recording in order to commit a violation of the law or any Department Policy. 450.5.1 HOW TO RECORD a) Users shall patrol with their BWC in “buffer” mode. While in buffer mode, the BWC will continuously record in 30 second loops. During that 30 second period, only video is being recorded, not audio. b) When a user decides to activate their BWC, he or she will place the camera in “event” mode to record the incident. In this mode, both video and audio will be recorded. c) When the incident is over or the user stops recording for any other reason set forth in this policy, he or she will return the BWC to “buffer” mode or turn off the BWC entirely. 450.5.2 SIGNAL ACTIVATION The Axon Body 3 Camera includes technology that will activate the camera when in buffering mode upon receiving a signal from a signal sidearm device or a Taser 7 device. A user's BWC will be activated if in buffering mode and it receives a signal from any signal sidearm device or Taser 7 device that is within the range of the BWC. This includes devices issued to the user as well as AXON devices in the range of signal technology. Taser 7 signal technology is activated when the Taser 7 is either armed, trigger is pulled or arc is engaged. Signal sidearm is activated when a sidearm is removed from the holster. 450.5.3 TERMINATION OF BWCS RECORDINGS Once a BWCS recording has been activated as provided in this Policy, it shall not be terminated until the incident has concluded and no further communication with the participants or witnesses is reasonably anticipated. Recording may also be stopped when the member or Supervisor reasonably determines that there would be no further evidentiary or documentary value in continuing to record an incident. The reasons for termination of recording before the conclusion of an incident shall be articulated in the appropriate CAD entry or report of the incident.
