This presentation examines the intersection of police practices, law, video technology, and human performance, focusing on the limitations of body camera footage in capturing the officer’s experience during critical incidents. Featuring recent cases from the Force Science Consulting Division, it shows how human perception, memory, and decision-making can differ from what is seen on video. Attendees will explore how these discrepancies affect investigations and litigation, and why a deeper understanding of these factors is essential for fair and accurate accountability in policing.
