  • First Officer-Involved Shooting with Weapon-Mounted Camera

    06-17-2019

    Life is often bookmarked by key “firsts.”  First date, first car, first job… At Viridian, we knew our first Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) involving a Law Enforcement Agency using our product was going to come at some point.  We believe and market our product on the basis that any officer involved shooting event that takes place is likely to demonstrate the value and necessity of Weapon Mounted Cameras.  But of course, nobody in law enforcement or within our Viridian team wants or hopes for such a tragic event to ever happen.  Furthermore, there is no way to predict or anticipate where or when such a tragedy is going to occur.  As Chief Legal Officer of the company, I have always had a small degree of anxiety about everything working as intended if and when that day comes.

Brown III, the National Director of the National Christian League of Councils (NCLC) in September. Mr. Brown discussed what he believed is an unacceptable time frame for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida to test and implement a Body Camera program, now apparently over four years after the City made the decision to investigate the option.  As part of his commentary, Mr. Brown noted that St. Petersburg has been testing Weapon Mounted Cameras for the past year rather than body cameras.  He labeled WMCs “Police Death Cameras” having a sole purpose “to record your death or imminent death.”  We felt the need to respond.
