Created fair, community influenced policy and outfitted @bostonpolice with body cameras to further accountability & safety in the city of Boston.

Still haven't had the chance to read BPCAT's proposed body camera policy? Check it out here: http://t.co/KJSBrjMnQ7

Editorial in @GlobeOpinion: Body-cam bill is bad for public transparency https://t.co/7tmnTf9ZCc

[The Love Queen @_ShesThatGirl]

Do we want to increase transparency and accountability to improve police/public relations or do we not? If yes, section 7 of H.2120 gotta go. It’s that simple.

[BPCAT @bpcatorg]

Our statement in response to @DeniseProvost1 bill H.2120. Remove Section 7! @TWallack @Channel_Mike @marcela_elisa @HagerWBZ @crystalhaynes @deehan @markherzradio @bostonjonas @simonfrios #Mapoli #Bospoli

Bill would limit public access to police video in Mass. https://t.co/TDYUCYrhyB via @BostonGlobe > #bospoli #mapoli #maleg #publicsafety #publictrust #bodycams #publicrecords #opengov #transparency @SpeakerDeLeo @BPPA1 @bpcatorg @BostonNAACP1911 @ACLU_Mass #BlackLivesMatter

We had a lot of discussion about the general merits of body cameras and the pilot program, but imho, it's not great that there isn't a hearing scheduled to actually discuss how they are being rolled out, esp in #SouthBoston and #Dorchester with no particular start date. #bospoli

[Andrea Joy Campbell @AJCampbellMA]

We called for a hearing in January to learn what happened w/ $2million in last year's budget for body cams, still no date. A hearing is important to give community the opportunity to inform roll-out of this process! @bpcatorg #bospoli

[Andrea Joy Campbell @AJCampbellMA]

Curious how decision was made to assign cameras to officers in certain neighborhoods first, and were residents a part of it? @BPDPCGross @bostonpolice https://t.co/e9NYD15H3b

Shekia Scott of @bpcatorg joins us now to talk about @bostonpolice’s move to introduce 400 body cameras to its force. https://t.co/mEqujvEtoO

Roy Oliver was found guilty of murder in the police shooting of Jordan Edwards.

Police officers are almost never convicted of murder.

Body cameras may have made the difference in this case.

TY @revrenddoctor & @bpcatorg for holding @bostonpolice accountable and shame on @marty_walsh (@martyforboston) for dragging his heels for 3 years on this. #bospoli #mapoli #bpd https://t.co/qnLigMGWEB

[Chip Goines @chipgoines]

Wow. @CharlieBakerMA will deploy bodycams in the @MassStatePolice before @marty_walsh will with the @bostonpolice dept! What's @martyforboston's excuse? cc: @bpcatorg #mapoli #bospoli #bpd https://t.co/uNNWOxPV4s

[Samuel Sinyangwe @samswey]

Remember, the police said the body cameras "fell off" and didn't capture any footage. https://t.co/9QgUWRlLMX

[Gavi Wolfe @GaviWolfe]

With #bodycams, good policy — and meaningful enforcement — matters. Transparency + Accountability = Integrity. 📷👁👍���👏🏾
