Abstract
This paper examines officer perceptions of body-worn cameras (BWCs) through semi-structured in-depth interviews with officers across ranks in a small community-oriented police agency. Giving voice to officers in a small agency, this study broadens prior knowledge gained from big agency studies and deepens existing understanding of officer perceptions of BWCs beyond a binary classification (either support or resistance). This approach provides a useful angle for scholars to bridge some gaps in the current literature and informs practitioners on how to improve policies for better utilization of BWCs in daily policing operations.
