The New York City Police Department will finally begin using body-worn cameras for some of its officers beginning in the new year, according to the court-appointed monitor overseeing reforms of the department’s stop-and-frisk policies.
Peter Zimroth, senior counsel at Arnold & Porter, reported to Southern District Judge Analisa Torres that the first cameras that will document police encounters with civilians to ensure compliance with the Fourth Amendment will be used starting in the first quarter of 2017.
