Exploring the Potential for Body-Worn
Cameras to Reduce Violence in
Police–Citizen Encounters
Michael D. White*, Janne E. Gaub** and Natalie Todak***
Abstract One of the most compelling perceived benefits of body-worn cameras (BWCs) involves the potential for
reductions in citizen complaints and police use of force. A handful of early studies reported significant reductions in
both outcomes following BWC adoption, but several recent studies have failed to document such effects. The current
study explores this question using data from a randomized controlled trial conducted in the Spokane (WA) Police
Department. Approximately half of patrol officers (n = 82) were assigned BWCs in May 2015, while the other half
(n = 67) received their BWCs 6 months later (November 2015). The study explores the effects of BWCs on use of force,
complaints against officers, and officer injuries, using more than three years of official department data pre- and post-
BWC deployment. The outcomes of interest are rare in Spokane, which limited both statistical power and the results
from significance testing. However, the within-group trends are consistent with a positive effect, particularly for
percent change. Following BWC deployment, the percentage of officers with a complaint in each group declined by
50% and 78% (Control and Treatment, respectively); the percentage of officers with a use of force declined notably
(39%) for one group only. The reductions disappeared after 6 months for the Treatment group. There was no
relationship between BWCs and officer injuries. The authors discuss the implications of the findings for the ongoing
dialogue on BWCs.

‘In establishing the task force, the President spoke
of the distrust that exists between too many police
departments and too many communities—the
sense that in a country where our basic principle
is equality under the law, too many individuals,
particularly young people of color, do not feel as
if they are being treated fairly.’
The Task Force (2015) final report identified
nearly 60 recommendations for building trust be
tween police and citizens, and body-worn cameras
(BWCs) are highlighted as a tool for achieving that
objective. Since 2015, the White House and the US
Department of Justice have strongly promoted the
adoption of BWCs by police, as evidenced by the
creation of a National Body-Worn Camera Toolkit
(Bureau of Justice Assistance, 2016a), a federal
funding program that has provided $40 million to
more than 175 law enforcement agencies for the
purchase of BWCs (Department of Justice, 2016),
and a training and technical assistance mechanism
that facilitates BWC adoption and program man
agement (Bureau of Justice Assistance, 2016b).
Proponents of BWCs have made numerous claims
regarding the benefits of the technology, including
that BWCs can reduce violence during police-citizen
encounters (White, 2014).
1
A number of early studies
reported significant reductions in citizen complaints
against officers and police use of force following de
ployment of BWCs, suggesting the technology can
produce measurable change in these two important
outcomes. An evaluation of BWCs in the Rialto (CA)
Police Department documented a nearly 90% drop
in citizen complaints against police, and a 60% de
cline in use of force by officers (Ariel et al., 2015).
Similarly, positive results have emerged from studies
in Mesa (AZ; Mesa Police Department, 2013),
Orlando (FL; Jennings et al., 2015), and Tampa
(FL; Sullivan and Marrero, 2016).
2
Hedberg and col
leagues (2016) estimated the effect of BWCs on citi
zen complaints in Phoenix (AZ) and concluded ‘if
BWCs are employed as prescribed [i.e., 100 percent
activation compliance], a majority of complaints
against officers would be eliminated’ (p. 16).
However, several recent studies have failed to
document positive effects on citizen complaints
and use of force. A study by the Edmonton Police
Service (2015) concluded BWCs had no measurable
impact on either outcome. Grossmith et al. (2015)
found a statistically significant decline in citizen
complaints in only two of the ten London police
boroughs examined.
3
Ariel and colleagues (2016c,
p. 2) described findings from ten BWC studies and
concluded the technology ‘had no effect on use of
force’ overall, but the null finding was explained by
mixed results across studies.
4
Ariel et al. (2016c)
also found a troubling link between BWCs and
increased rates of assaults on officers.
5
Ariel et al.
(2016b) tied patterns in use of force to officer de
cisions on BWC activation. That is, when officers
followed policy—they activated the BWC at the
start of citizen encounters and advised citizens of
the BWC—use of force declined by 37%. When
officers did not follow policy, use of force actually
increased by 71%.
The mixed findings on BWCs and violence in
police–citizen encounters suggest the dynamics at
play may be considerably more complex than ori
ginally described by advocates of the technology.
6
Research has explored a number of other potential benefits and limitations associated with BWCs. Due to space constraints,
the authors focus on the outcomes most relevant for the current study: use of force, complaints, and officer injuries. See
White (2014) and the National Body-Worn Camera Toolkit (Bureau of Justice Assistance, 2016a) for additional discussion of
other benefits and challenges associated with BWCs.
2
For additional studies reporting reductions in complaints and use of force see: Goodall (2007); Ellis et al. (2015).
3
Six of the ten boroughs did experience fewer complaints but only two reached statistical significance, and the effect across all
boroughs was also not significant (Grossmith et al., 2015).
4
Researchers randomized shifts rather than officers (Ariel et al., 2016c).
5
To our knowledge, Ariel et al. (2016c) is the only published study to examine this important outcome.
6
We use ‘violence’ as a general term that captures aggression and combativeness in police–citizen encounters, and we treat
use of force, complaints against officers, and officer injuries as indicators of violence.

3 Potential for Body-Worn Cameras Article Policing
The inconsistent results are especially troubling
given the rapid diffusion of BWCs in law enforce
ment and the potentially severe, longstanding con
sequences of violence in police–citizen encounters
(Fyfe, 1988; President’s Task Force on 21st Century
Policing, 2015; White and Klinger, 2012).
Moreover, the potential link between BWCs and
increased assaults on officers (Ariel et al., 2016c)
warrants immediate attention from researchers.
The current study explores these questions using
data from a randomized controlled trial in
Spokane, Washington.
Methods and data
The current study is part of a larger project exam
ining the impact and consequences of BWCs. In
early 2015, the Spokane Police Department (SPD)
leadership devised a plan for a staggered rollout of
BWCs to all patrol officers in two phases (n = 149).7
The leadership worked with the authors to randomize
the process by which officers were selected for the first
(May 2015; Treatment group [n = 82]) and second
(November 2015; Control group [n = 67]) phases of
the deployment.
8
The officers in each group received
the TASER Axon Body 1 camera
9
on a rolling sched
ule, as groups of officers were trained on consecutive
Fridays during the two deployment months.
10
The
authors compared both groups across officer demo
graphics, rank, years of service, and pre-RCT rates of
use of force and complaints. No differences reached
statistical significance (Table 1).
The SPD policy directs officers to record any law
enforcement activity, including self-initiated citi
zen contacts, and to continue recording until the
interaction or activity concludes.
11
Officers are
given discretion to not record if doing so would
jeopardize safety and/or the ability to perform
7
SPD implemented a small-scale pilot study of BWCs in fall 2014, involving approximately 20 volunteer officers. This pilot
study occurred prior to the authors’ collaboration with the agency, though most of the pilot study officers continued to wear
their BWCs up to the start of the RCT. Those volunteers who opted to stop wearing the BWC largely cited their state’s law
governing public records requests (i.e. very liberal with regard to access), and the lack of a clear department policy at the time,
as reasons for withdrawing from the pilot.
8
SPD provided the authors with a complete list of all officers, corporals, and sergeants assigned to patrol. Officers were
randomly assigned by the authors to either the Treatment or Control group using the random number generator in Microsoft
Excel. There were 12 departures from random assignment (8% departure rate). Eight of the randomization departures
involved officers who participated in the department’s BWC pilot study prior to the phased rollout, were randomly assigned
to the Control group, but asked to keep their BWCs. The department leadership and authors agreed to re-assign those officers
to the Treatment group. The remaining departures occurred as a result of officers missing their assigned BWC training
because of injury, family leave, vacation, or similar reasons. Four officers were removed from the study because they retired or
transferred to a non-patrol assignment during the RCT period (and were no longer assigned a BWC).
9
This model features a 30 second ‘buffer’, wherein the camera continually records video (without audio) for the 30 s prior to
camera activation.
10
The BWC training was included as part of an 8-h required use of force report writing training. Training was completed by
the agency’s academy instructors, and occurred in two parts. The first part consisted of classroom-based instruction, which
focused on laws and policy governing use of the cameras. Officers were also trained in BWC operational use. The second part
consisted of scenario-based training, in which officers participated in mock citizen interactions and use of force scenarios
while wearing the BWC. Following the mock scenarios, officers learned to complete reports incorporating the video evidence.
One of the authors observed the BWC training on several occasions. For Treatment officers, the RCT began on the day they
received a camera in the training course in May 2015. All activity that occurred prior to that training day is considered
pre-RCT activity. The same principle applies for the Control officers who received their BWC on a rolling schedule in
November 2015.
11
When a video is recorded, officers are instructed to label it using their mobile devices. At the end of each shift, they are
required to dock their cameras, during which time all videos are automatically uploaded to TASER’s cloud-based storage
system, Evidence.com. Officers do not have access to manipulate the video in any way on either their mobile devices or on
Evidence.com. All activity (viewing, tagging, notations, etc.) is documented in the audit trail on Evidence.com and cannot be
altered.

The body camera
does not visually indicate to citizens that they are
being recorded, and the agency’s policy does not
require that officers notify citizens that they are
being recorded. In a separate study, the authors
interviewed 249 Spokane citizens who had BWC-
recorded encounters with police officers, and only
28.5% were aware they had been recorded (White et
al., forthcoming).
The SPD provided officer-level measures of use
of force, internal complaints, citizen complaints,
and officer injuries, from 1 January 2013 through
30 April 2016 for all 149 officers in the study.
13
This
period includes 28 months pre-RCT (January
2013–April 2015), 6 months of the RCT (May
2015–October 2015), and 6 months post-RCT
(where both groups have BWCs; November 2015–
April 2016)—for a total study period of 40 months.
The authors calculated standardized monthly rates
of each measure by dividing the monthly outcome
total for each officer group by the number of calls
responded to by each group, and multiplying by
1,000 (e.g. for each group, monthly rate of
force = [# force incidents per month/# calls per
month] * 1,000). Call activity includes both citizen
and officer-initiated calls. Several sets of analyses
were carried out. First, the authors descriptively
examine long-term trends in each outcome meas
ure with the two officer groups to assess general
change over time. We also employ difference-in
difference (DID) estimations to test variation in
outcomes among the groups over time (DID pro
vides a fixed-effect estimation of the intervention’s
impact on both groups). The authors then con
ducted a more focused analysis of monthly
change by comparing outcomes during 6-month
intervals, beginning in January 2013 and including
the pre-RCT (11/14 – 4/15), RCT (5/15 – 10/15),
and post-RCT (11/15 – 4/16) periods. Independent
and paired-sample t-tests are employed to compare
within- and between-group change across the 6
month time periods.
14
The authors also examine
change in the percent of each group recording an
event (force, complaint) during the pre-RCT, RCT,
and post-RCT periods. The authors conducted
power analysis with GPower and the results
Data regarding activation compliance is not yet available. The authors are currently working with SPD to gather meta-data
from Evidence.com, which will be analysed in conjunction with call data. The department’s CAD/RMS system and
Evidence.com are not integrated, and as a consequence, the activation compliance analysis is very labor intensive.
13
Use of force and complaint data were provided by the department’s Internal Affairs unit. The officer injury variable was
captured from the department’s official use of force reports, which are publicly available on the SPD website. In short, the
authors applied the department’s official definitions of use force, complaints, and officer injuries.
14
All of the analyses are conducted with the 12 randomization departures remaining in their final group. The authors also
conducted the analysis with the 12 departures removed from the study (n = 137). Those analyses are not presented here given
space constraints, but there were no differences in the findings using this alternate approach.

Results
Use of force
Figure 1 shows monthly use of force rates by officer
group, standardized by call activity, with vertical
lines representing the start of the first (May 2015)
and second phases (November 2015) of BWC roll-
out. Use of force by police is an uncommon event
(both groups average about one use of force inci
dent per month, per 1,000 calls). The standardized
trend over the entire study period is relatively flat
for both officer groups, ranging between 0.5 and 2.0
incidents per month. Table 2 shows the DID esti
mates were not significant. Table 2 also shows mean
use of force rates between groups during 6-month
intervals periods, with a specific focus on the pre-
RCT (11/14 – 4/15), RCT (5/15 – 10/15), and post-
RCT (11/15 – 4/16) periods. None of the within- or
between-group differences reach statistical signifi
cance (e.g. t-test results), and patterns in use of
force are inconsistent over time (e.g. a notable
spike in 5/13 – 10/13). There are some interesting
trends in the pre-RCT, RCT, and post-RCT periods.
Use of force by the Treatment group declined by 8%
following BWC deployment (0.91 to 0.84), despite
stable call activity.
15
During that same time, use of
force among the Control group increased by 17%.
Once the Control group was assigned BWCs, their
use of force declined by nearly 50% (1.07 to 0.60).
16
Finally, the decline in use of force was temporary for
the Treatment group, as their post-RCT use of force
increased by 27 percent (from 0.84 to 1.18). Table 3
shows these trends in terms of the percent of each
group with a use of force during the pre-RCT, RCT,
and post-RCT periods. For example, the percentage
of the Treatment group with a use of force remained
relatively flat over all three periods (from 24.4 percent
to 28.0 percent), but the percentage of the Control
group with a use of force (pre-post BWC deploy
ment) declined by 39%, from 26.9% to 16.4%.
Complaints

The number of calls for the Treatment group declined by one percent from pre-RCT (38,270) to RCT (37,891) periods.

During this time, call activity declined by 12 percent for the Control group (from 30,332 RCT to 26,762 post-RCT).

Given the very low rate of complaints per month, the authors merged citizen and internal complaints into one measure.

Table 2 shows no statistically significant changes in officer injuries over time. Discussion Several important themes emerged from the cur rent study’s results. First, the outcomes of interest are rare. Both officer groups averaged about one use of force per month per 1,000 calls. Complaints and injuries were even less common. Use of force and complaints against officers are typical outcomes in police research, and low base rates are a common issue. For example, prior research has consistently shown that police use of force occurs in less than 2% of all police citizen encounters (Hickman et al., 2008). Moreover, many of the most influential BWC studies have examined small police Deleted Text: two percent 8 Policing Article M. D. White et al. departments (Rialto, CA) or large departments with limited BWC deployment (Phoenix, AZ), which tends to compound the low base rate issue. 19 The second theme involves the noteworthy though nonsignificant declines in outcomes follow ing BWC deployment. Though statistical power was weak, the outcomes clearly trended in a positive direction. For example, complaints declined when each officer group was assigned BWCs. Use of force followed a similar pattern after BWC deployment for the Control group. The positive trends are per haps best captured in the percentage of each group with an event, before and after BWC deployment: the percentage of the Treatment and Control groups with a complaint declined by 78 percent and 50%, respectively; and the percentage of the Control group with a use of force declined by 39% (Table 3). Statistical significance aside, one could make a persuasive argument about the prac tical significance of the findings. In fact, SPD lead ership was quite pleased with the reductions in force and complaints when briefed about the re sults, and unconcerned about statistical significance. Moreover, the positive trends for the Treatment group were temporary. Use of force and citizen complaints increased during the post-RCT period, and the uptick for the Treatment group occurred during the same time the Control group (with their newly assigned BWCs) posted declines in those same outcomes. The reason for this trend in the SPD remains unclear. Part of the trend may be ex plained by a policy change. Beginning in January 2016, the department implemented a new use of force policy that required officers to record a larger universe of behaviours as reportable force. The policy change may have influenced our find ings. Given that there are only 3 months of data after the policy change, it is not possible to fully explore the effect of the change on use of force prevalence. As the authors collect additional data over time, they will be able to more formally inves tigate the policy change. Alternatively, perhaps the Treatment officers became more cautious or re strained in the months after they were assigned BWCs because of the novelty of the technology, or because they were concerned about how super visors might review their behavior. Prior research on officer perceptions of BWCs has identified supervisor review as a common concern (Gaub et al., 2016). But as time passed, officers may have become more comfortable with the technology and the potential for supervisory review. As a result, their BWC-generated restraint dissipated over time and they returned to their normal pre- BWC behavior. 20 Of course, it is important to bear in mind that study officers’ ‘normal pre-BWC be havior’ rarely involved force or produced citizen complaints. Nevertheless, the potential for BWC- generated benefits to wane over time warrants add itional research attention. Thirdly, recent studies conducted by Ariel and colleagues raise important questions about the impact and consequences of BWCs. For example, Ariel et al. (2016c) reported a higher rate of assaults on BWC officers compared to officers without cam eras. The authors offered several potential explan ations for the connection, including changes in officer reporting patterns and increased vulnerabil ity to assault as officers became less assertive. The finding has received significant media attention and was recently cited by the Boston police union in their lawsuit seeking an injunction to stop the de partment from creating a BWC program (Levenson and Allen, 2016). Ariel et al. (2016c, p. 10) note ‘the question about the reason for the increased assaults is not something that can be left to debate and must be [scrutinized] empirically’. 19 The Rialto study involved all 54 patrol officers in the department. The studies in Mesa (Mesa Police Department, 2013), Phoenix (Katz et al., 2014), and …
