Video recordings are a growing trend among law enforcement to protect officers, agencies and the public. However, the current equipment and conditions they record under do not produce the "pictures" that the public expects. This is particularly evident in impaired driving cases, where the evidence is short-lived. This talk aims to educate us about the issues with officers utilizing body cameras while in the field, and whether departments can and should change their current mobile video practices.
Sergeant Christopher Andreacola has been a member of the Tucson Police Department for almost thirty-three years. In the late 1990’s, TPD placed Mobile Video Recorders in every DUI patrol vehicle. In 2013, Sergeant Andreacola began working on video analysis for the Department, and in 2018, he was asked to form the Department’s first Video Analysis and Management Unit with the responsibility of conducting forensic video analysis and management of the Department’s body-worn and in-car video programs. He holds that position today. He has taught on impaired driving issues across the State and nationally, and he regularly testifies as an expert regarding Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, drug effects as they relate to driving, and use of mobile video in impaired driving cases.
This event will be held in room 168. Pizza will be served at noon.
