The American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island wants the Providence Police Department to more vigorously audit officers to make sure they’re actually turning on their body cameras.
Executive Director Steven Brown cited multiple high-profile instances where officers neglected to turn them on when they were supposed to.
“The body camera policy is regularly flouted, violations are rarely punished, and the transparency these cameras are supposed to provide the public is undermined,” Brown wrote in a letter Friday addressed to Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven M. Paré and Col. Hugh T. Clements Jr., chief of the Providence police.
