Statement from Chief Straub regarding the Washington State Attorney General's Opinion on Video and Audio Recording of Communications Between Citizens and Law Enforcement Officers Using Body Cameras Attached to Police Uniforms:
“The Spokane Police's Department's body worn camera draft policy is consistent with the Washington State Attorney General's Opinion on Video and Audio Recording of Communications Between Citizens and Law Enforcement Officers Using Body Cameras Attached to Police Uniforms.
“I believe our draft body worn camera policy draws on the best practices of the policing profession, extensive dialogue with the community we serve, and legal opinions on both the state and national level.
“The Spokane Police Department continues to solicit public input on the body camera draft policy. Anyone with comments or suggestions is encouraged to submit feedback by visiting the body camera information section of the Spokane Police Department website.”
