Building trust between Law Enforcement and the community truly is Body Worn Cameras worn by officers. I say one piece because there is no silver bullet. There is no panacea. But rather, many pieces to this puzzle. Were here today to listen and to learn from experts on how these cameras can be helpful and at the same time for us to understand the concerns like data retention, disclosure issues. Including foya, costs and training. When do you use the cameras . I look forward to the discussion as well as the hard work ahead. The good news is, according to at least one study, public complaints falls by 90 . Use of force, use of force drops by as much as 60 . Thats moving in the right direction. Tasking the federal government to test body cameras should not be confused with federalizing local policing. Which i would object to. Nor is it an attempt to mandate the use of body cameras. Its an attempt to keep Law Enforcement officers and our communities safer. Let me close with the heart felt d
Electronically and use tools to separate it out by the kind of line that the capstone proposes. I think there are opportunities for partnerships.

This highlights the fact that, when you go to congress and you are
Generated by the Body Worn Cameras. Clearly from a prosecutors perspective, this evidence can be very, very important. When you present a case to a jury, certainly they would benefit from being able to see the place and the circumstances immediately after the commission of a crime. Jurors would benefit from being able to evaluate credibility and demeanor of the witnesses that are recorded contemporaneously with the crime. And when we Start Talking about officerinvolved shootings, Body Worn Cameras can certainly play a role in determining whether or not the officer acted within the scope of his authority or whether that officer may have violated his oath and acted outside justifiable, legal grounds. So clearly the prosecution Community Supports the use of Body Worn Cameras in appropriate circumstances with appropriate safeguards and appropriate procedures involved in the use of the Body Worn Cameras.

That is something i have been working on and committed to for decades. We saw similar problems back in the 1980s, when i served on a workforce Training Commission organized by the Wt Grant Foundation and the National Center for the economy. The problems have grown more complex as the economy has changed. Nearly 6 million young people are out of school and out of work. That is almost one in every six. For young people of color, things are even harder. If you do not have a College Degree or did not graduate from high school, most stores are not open, no matter how hard you not. Think about what that means. It is not just about missing a paycheck or going without benefits, like health care, when young people cannot find work, they miss out on a crucial period of personal and professional growth that reverberates for decades in lower wages and lost opportunities. Those first jobs i certainly remember my first job that is where you learn skills, even if it is just showing up on time. That i
