Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill temporarily changes District of Columbia law to require the release of body-worn camera footage from Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers. This applies to incidents where an officer-involved death or serious use of force occurs, even if the force was used by a non-MPD officer but an MPD officer was present. It also prevents MPD officers from reviewing body-worn camera footage before writing initial reports for incidents directly involving an MPD officer.
