The NYPD is formally requiring the release body-worn camera footage within 30 days of a critical incident, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The mayor’s office said that the new rule applies specifically when an officer fires their weapon and injures a civilian or when an officer uses force that results in serious injury or death.<\/p>\n
“Transparency and accountability are the building blocks of public safety,” Mamdani said. “By codifying the timely release of body-worn camera footage, we are ensuring that New Yorkers receive timely information about critical incidents.”<\/p>\n
While this practice has been regularly followed under Tisch, it is now a formal department-wide requirement.<\/p>\n
“This formal commitment to release footage within 30 days of a critical incident is a continuation of my pledge to ensure transparency regarding\u00a0the work of the Department,” she said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, all uniformed members of the department who are ranked below deputy inspector are now required to wear body-worn cameras. <\/p>\n
Every NYPD officer is required to activate their cameras before taking any authoritative action. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NYPD is formally requiring the release body-worn camera footage within 30 days of a critical incident, Mayor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[68277,98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-166436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-body-cameras","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
