“…Line officers and their union should be directly involved in the planning process (as they were in Spokane). If officers are given a voice, allowed to ask questions and express concerns, and are given decision‐making power, they are much more likely to trust the leadership's decision to deploy BWCs and to accept the technology (Katz et al., ; Kyle and White, ). Line officers who are not included in the process are less likely to buy‐in, which may result in implementation problems, such as low activation rates (Hedberg, Katz, and Choate, ), and may increase the potential for camera‐induced passivity.…”

“…Nix and Wolfe (), for example, found that officers who perceived high levels of organizational justice were less likely to report changes in their activity (depolicing). If line officers have been excluded from the BWC planning process, they may perceive lower levels of organizational justice and be more likely to resist the technology (Kyle and White, ). Officers may then be acutely aware of a transparency double standard: The message to the community is one of transparency, but there has been no transparency internally for the officers themselves.…”

“…Relatedly, Tankebe and Ariel (2016) also found that officers who were more committed to their agencies were less cynical about cameras and less resistant to BWCs. In a replication of Kyle and White (2017) in a different agency, however, Lawshe (2018) did not find that perceptions of organizational justice impacted officers' views of BWCs. Similarly, Huff, Katz, and Webb (2018) found no relationship between perceptions of organizational justice and receptivity or resistance to wearing BWCs.…”

“…Additionally, broader organizational and social network factors may be at play in officer receptivity to BWCs, although this evidence is far from conclusive. For example, Kyle and White () found that attitudes toward BWCs may be conditioned by several factors—most interestingly, officer perceptions of organizational justice. In other words, the greater the level of organizational justice that an officer perceived from his or her organization, the more positive view he or she had about BWCs.…”

“…Similarly, by not referencing the organizational culture of the department implementing the camera, it is hard to understand the mechanisms that are driving the diverging findings on officer activity. Kyle and White () noted perceptions of organizational justice affecting officer behavior. But we cannot explain the disparate results of officer activity through organizational culture if researchers have yet to agree on a common metric that would allow comparisons across different agencies.…”
