Police Grade Dash Cams: The Unsung Heroes in the Training of New Officers

Published June 3, 2024

Think of police grade dash cameras as the wise old sages of law enforcement, minus the long beards and mystic staff. These small, but mighty gadgets perched atop our patrol dashboards are like the Yodas to our rookie officers—they see and record everything, imparting wisdom without ever uttering a word.

Real-World Training Material

Dash camera footage provides invaluable training material for new officers. Supervisors can review actual field interactions to provide targeted feedback and identify areas for improvement.

Objective Performance Review

Unlike subjective evaluations, dash camera footage provides objective evidence of officer performance. This helps training officers provide specific, actionable feedback based on actual events.

Best Practices Documentation

Outstanding examples of officer conduct captured on dash cameras can be used as training materials to demonstrate best practices in de-escalation, communication, and tactical decision-making.
