How may a member submit a request to delete an accidental BWC recording?

Submitting a request to delete an accidental Body-Worn Camera (BWC) recording is appropriately done through the member's administrative captain. This process ensures that there is a clear chain of command and accountability when it comes to managing sensitive or potentially incriminating footage. The administrative captain is typically in a position to assess the request, understand the context of the recording, and determine the next steps in compliance with department policies and procedures.

This approach fosters a controlled mechanism for handling BWC footage and ensures that all requests are documented and processed according to established protocols, maintaining the integrity of the department's operations and adherence to regulations. It also helps in preserving a formal record of such requests, which is vital for transparency and auditing purposes within the department.
