Newly Released Data Shows Oakland Police Turn On Body Cameras 95 Percent of the Time

Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent sits down with NBC Bay Area Senior Investigative Reporter Vicky Nguyen to discuss his department’s body camera program. This comes after an earlier report looked at how often officers turn on their body cameras during use of force incidents. The department did not provide data for that report, but has now released records showing how often officers failed to turn on their body cameras and the discipline they faced.
