The Police Department requires that police officers and other uniformed staff, record all contacts with members of the public using audio and video recording devices including body cameras. Under certain circumstances, a member of the public may request that a video and/or audio recording of a “non-event” they were involved in (as described on the form) may be destroyed after one year. The audio/video recording destruction request(PDF, 619KB) provides general instructions and agreement for any member of the public wishing to have a recording destroyed, and must be filled out completely prior to submission. This includes a notarized signature to the agreement as described. The form may be partially filled out on-line, printed and notarized, or printed forms may be picked up at the police department during regular business hours.
