Austin’s City Council and City Manager want your opinion on the Austin Police Department’s (APD) rules related to how and when officers use their camera equipment. The Office of Police Oversight (OPO) is organizing events and surveys to collect feedback from community members. The Office of Police Oversight is separate from the Austin Police Department and provides impartial oversight of APD’s conduct, practices, and rules.
From February 1, 2022 – April 1, 2022, OPO will engage with community groups to gather feedback. We will submit the input we collect to the City Manager, City Council, and the Austin Police Department in late 2022. This Zoom event series will be an opportunity to share your thoughts on the APD policies related to body-worn cameras and dashboard cameras. Body-worn cameras are small cameras worn by officers to capture what the officers see and hear while dashboard cameras are cameras installed in police vehicles.
In February, OPO will host a series of virtual public events, including an educational presentation on current APD body-worn camera and dashboard camera policies. Meetings will be multilingual – English, Spanish, and American Sign Language – with other languages available upon request. To register, click here. More information about how to get involved can be found on our website.
Events will take place at 6:00 p.m.(CST) on the following dates:
- February 23, 2022
- March 2, 2022
- March 9, 2022
- March 16, 2022
Additionally, OPO will collect feedback with a multilingual survey here. The deadline to complete the survey is April 1, 2022.
