our work began in 2013 when we partnered with the us department of justice office of community oriented policing services to research the use of body cameras. last september a publication was released examining the benefits of body cameras and considerations for implementation. the report provides a set of 33 comprehensive policy recommendations the refract -- that reflect promising practices and lessons learned. today i will touch briefly on key findings. my submitted written testimony provides additional details. first we caution the decision to implement a body camera program should not be entered into lightly. agencies must thoughtfully examine the issues and develop careful written policies to govern use. we found that when implementing a camera program is critical that agencies engage with committee organizations, line officers and unions local policymakers and elected officials prosecutors, and other stakeholders. this can help strengthen the legitimacy and make implementation run was. we also caution that while body cameras can be a useful tool they are not a cure-all they must

one of the most important issues is how do you touch as many police departments as possible and we have been advocating for the department of justice to usehe nearly $1 billion that they deployed to police departments around the country to engage in the kind of training we were talking about. to require body worn cameras. to train on the escalating tension. to increase diversity in police departments because diversity matters as well. and then in the individual communities, providing technical support on the ground, reviewing the grand jury process, and trying to stay on the scene to ensure that the legal system is operating the way it is supposed to. charlie: what can you tell us about the case of mr. gray? sherrilyn: sadly, i can tell you very little. we know what we saw in the video of him being taken to the van. we have not had a satisfactory explanation of the initial encounter between the police and mr. gray. this is important because after the encounter things ratchet up. why did the police approach them -- him in the first place? the police made eye contact and he ran. i think there are many people, having seen the incidents over
