As video becomes central to modern policing, its impact goes far beyond recording incidents. What officers see on scene, how incidents are documented and how leaders review decisions afterward are all changing — bringing new opportunities and new responsibilities for police leadership.
This webinar focuses on how video, supported by connected data and automated tools, is shaping police response, reporting and post-incident review. Our panelists will explore how connected video and automation can improve situational awareness, reduce administrative burden and support defensible outcomes — while reinforcing the importance of officer judgment, supervisory clarity and leadership oversight.
For police chiefs and commanders, the challenge isn’t whether to use video. It’s understanding how these tools influence decisions, documentation and accountability across an incident — and how to lead their use responsibly.
Attend to learn
- How video and connected information shape situational awareness and decision-making during active incidents
- How reporting and evidence workflows are evolving and where leaders must verify accuracy and context
- How supervisors and commanders can use video to support officers without overdirecting on-scene decisions
- What leadership guardrails help ensure video strengthens trust with communities and the courts
Reserve your seat to understand how video is redefining modern police response — and what leaders must do to guide it responsibly.
