conducted a survey of state
corrections departments to assess
their level of adoption of body-worn
cameras. The survey also
gathered information about the type
of direct support needed by
corrections agencies. A total of 32
state departments of corrections
responded to the survey.

Corrections Policy Wizard

The Corrections Policy Wizard tool is currently under construction. Please checkback soon.

Welcome to the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Body-Worn Camera (BWC) Administrative Policy Wizard. This tool is designed for any local or state agencies performing corrections or jail functions. The tool is funded through BJA’s National BWC Policy Implementation Program.

The purpose of the Policy Wizard is to help correctional agencies by offering a quick and easy tool that can be used to create draft BWC policy. The tool allows the agency to select specific policy options across a range of important BWC policy areas. Those areas include: activation, deactivation, citizen notification, footage download, footage review, training, and policy review. The end result is a draft policy that agencies can modify as needed.
