Body-Worn Cameras Assessment Report

A new U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAVER Program report assesses advantages and disadvantages of seven body-worn cameras for law enforcement. The SAVER, or System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders Program, conducts objective assessments and validations on commercially available equipment and systems and develops knowledge products that provide relevant equipment information to the emergency responder community. The body-worn camera assessment addressed 16 evaluation criteria in three SAVER categories: capability, deployability and usability.
