Body-Worn Cameras Don’t Change Behavior. Systems Do.

There’s a persistent myth in policing that cameras alone drive better outcomes.

They don’t.

What changes behavior is what happens after the recording:

• How footage is reviewed

• How patterns are identified

• How lessons are fed back into training

• How leadership responds consistently over time

Without a system, BWCs become an archive. With a system, they become feedback.

The agencies seeing real value aren’t watching more video. They’re making better decisions with the video they already have.

At Principis Group, we work with agencies to design BWC review and governance frameworks that fit their operations, staffing realities, and risk profile. The objective isn’t more video, but more consistent, defensible decision-making over time. Contact us today!
