Calls for police transparency and accountability have resulted in several states and federal agencies mandating the use of body-worn cameras by law enforcement officers, with more state laws coming into effect in the coming years.

In this webinar presented by Police1.com and Motorola Solutions, experts discuss what agencies need to know to about BWC Mandates and how to build a successful BWC program.
You will learn:
- What BWC State Mandates are and what they require.
- Why and where BWC Mandates are being enacted.
- How the mandates will affect your agency.
- What funding options may be available and where to find grants assistance.
