FURTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION © Adue date is needed for the Unit BWC evaluation report to be submitted + The General Order needs revising to state the ‘number of videos to be viewed by the Watch Operations Lieutenant’ “Lt’s will watch videos daily totaling the number of days in the month.” Reports signed by Commanders are stating the officers are in compliance with the BWC policy however this is not completely accurate as indicated in their reports. + Abetter means of documenting the viewed videos is needed. Often the lieutenants writing is illegible. ‘* Software needs to be put in place to randomly select videos for the Lt’s to watch
