Welcome to the Recording Police and Protecting Civil Rights training course. This course will review the legal standards and applicable policy guidelines set by the Court, allowing citizens to record officers in the performance of their duties. Most of the Court of Appeals have now clarified the issue that recording a police officer is a constitutional right and should be protected. So, what can an officer do in this situation and more importantly, when a supervisor is called to the scene what are the legal standards they must protect? This training will also cover the authority of the police to record citizens with body-worn cameras.
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Understanding the legal First Amendment Standards related to recording the police.
- Clarifying right of the public to record government operations.
- Discussing the interpretation of the word interfering.
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
