Body-Worn Camera Records Release

At a glance

Based on an automatic speech-to-text transcript; details may be misheard.

• What: Starr introduced a resolution (1199-2026) urging the Department of Public Safety and Department of Law to review body-worn camera recordings individually when responding to public-records requests, release the portions that can be separated and are not exempt, explain in writing any continued withholding, and support independent judicial review of disputed recordings.
• Where it stands: introduced on September 28, 2026 and referred to committee. Griffin said he wants more deliberation because he is cautious about council inserting itself into legal cases.
• Next: committee review. Starr tied the request to records from the Rainbow Terrace investigation (see Rainbow Terrace housing conditions).
