WATCH Lab Awarded NSF Grant to Study Police Body Cameras

In collaboration with researchers at Purdue University, the WATCH Lab was recently awarded nearly $700,000 to fund a 3-year project exploring the individual, organizational, technological, and environmental variables that influence police officer reactions to wearing body-worn cameras on the job. Results from the project will help inform best practices in using body-worn cameras and other performance monitoring technologies in law enforcement agencies, specifically, and in organizations more broadly..
