A citywide DFR expansion needs one evidence plan while retention policy and command practice pull apart.
Policy leaders protect constrained retention while command staff protects post-incident review access.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I had three people ask me where yesterday’s mission video lives, and I had three different answers.”
Dwi Win · Police Evidence Manager
Owns the defensibility of video retention for the agency receiving DFR mission footage.
What is at stake
Fourteen possible duplicate video paths appeared in 62 mission records, but only five are verified so far. You must weigh command’s need for reviewable footage against policy’s need for strict retention before the city locks its operating plan.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- command review vs retention limits
- deployment timing vs verified evidence
- machine summaries vs manual confirmation
- citywide expansion vs reversible caution
