Sign if you agree: Police must be required to wear body cameras
Congress, the Justice Department & law enforcement everywhere
Police body cameras save lives.
According to a study at the Department of Justice, body cameras reduce the instances of excessive force, in some places by 60% and reduce complaints against officers by as much as 88%.
Some experts think that presence of recording equipment encourages everyone involved in the interaction to de-escalate. Every day police are not wearing them, lives continue to be at risk.
Sign the petition to Congress and the Department of Justice urging cohesive national standards for the use of body cameras and recording equipment by law enforcement requiring all police to wear them.

Body cameras are an effective tool at reducing the use of excessive force and reducing complaints from the community. We must require all law enforcement to wear body cameras.
