Fort Bragg Police Department Press Release re: Body Worn Cameras

Mendocino TV will broadcast live the Fort Bragg Police Department (FBPD)  forum on Sunday, June 14, 2015, at 4:00 p.m to collect community input on potentially implementing Body Worn Cameras (BWCs). This meeting will be held in the FBPD Conference Room at 250 Cypress Street.

The intent of this forum is to allow the community the chance
to provide preliminary input regarding the use of BWCs by their local law enforcement. The community’s input will then be incorporated into a federal grant proposal submitted by FBPD in an attempt to secure funding assistance for the implementation of BWCs.

This forum will consist of members of the public being allowed to voice their opinions
and concerns regarding BWCs. Each speaker will be given three minutes to speak. No
questions will be taken at this forum; however FBPD does intend to hold several more
forums, including question and answer sessions, prior to BWCs being implemented.
Community members will be heard in an open setting on a first-come-first serve basis.

Questions specifically regarding the forum may be directed to Officer O’Neal at (707)
961-2800 ext. 167.
