Correctional officers often have to defuse hostile situations. Reveal body cameras encourage positive behavior and offer an independent witness of events when needed.
Correctional officers frequently encounter aggressive and violent behavior, as well as verbal abuse from inmates while on duty. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, correctional workers had the highest average annual victimization rate of nonfatal workplace violence, with 149 violent crimes per 1,000 workers, compared to the average annual rate for all workers of 8.0 violent crimes per 1,000 workers.
Meanwhile, a study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that rates of inmate-on-inmate sexual victimization in the previous six months were highest for female inmates, with 21.2% reporting an incident, more than four times higher than male rates.
Our body-worn cameras with a front-facing screen have proven to successfully reduce the number of complaints against both officers and prisoners alike by providing a true account of interactions. The transparent nature of recording when in a hostile situation affords extra protection for everyone involved.
When combined with our DEMS 360 software for evidence management, facilities can be sure that the truth is secured for use as evidence when required.
