The Milwaukee Police Department's Body-Worn Camera Program
"This brief describes the results of the Urban Institute’s evaluation of
the Milwaukee Police Department’s body-worn camera program. From October
2015 to December 2016, the Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) deployed
body-worn cameras (BWCs) in a phased rollout to all of its roughly 1,100
patrol officers. Through a randomized controlled trial of 504 officers,
the Urban Institute found that those who wore BWCs conducted fewer
subject stops and were less likely to receive a complaint than officers
who were not equipped with cameras. However, BWCs had no effect on
whether officers engaged in use of force during the study period."
