Officer Buy: Our officers are resistant to adopting body-worn cameras due to the extra workload. What can we do to help them see the benefits?

It’s common for officers to wonder how the new technology will make their jobs easier. Be honest about any workload additions while also highlighting parts of their job that will be easier. In addition, if you have officers who are volunteering to pilot the cameras, take advantage of their willingness. Often these officers see the value of the program and will sell the concept to their fellow officers who are more skeptical.
