Check out this session being presented by PMA Companies Risk Control Manager, Dave Weightman. Dave will be co-presenting with Jon Parham of 360AOR.

Body worn cameras capture the performance of our police officers as they perform their jobs in real time. This video gives supervisors and agency leaders an understanding of the officer’s performance in relation to the agency standards, but only if someone is monitoring the video collected in a timely manner. This session will demonstrate how the consistent and timely review of officers’ performance, compared to standardized performance metrics, can identify risk management concerns before a claim or lawsuit is filed. It also allows the agency to demonstrate its efforts to manage their officers on a day-to-day basis, while creating data that can be shared with the public to demonstrate their efforts of transparency and continuing improvement.
