On the heels of a report describing its policy on police body cameras as the nation’s worst, Ferguson, Missouri shared an updated version of its rules with Bloomberg News. The policy, dated Feb. 26, addresses a number of the criticisms made by The Leadership Conference and Upturn, the two civil rights organizations that published the report Tuesday.
Ferguson’s police department, which drew nationwide attention when one of its officers shot an unarmed black man named Michael Brown in 2014, has been using body cameras for nearly two years.
