WSU requests de-identified Pasco Police body-camera footage for research; council approval required
Summary
Washington State University has asked to access de-identified Pasco Police Department body-camera video for a study; the department would need city council approval before participating, communications coordinator Alyssa Warner said.
Warner said Washington State University has requested access to Pasco Police Department body-camera video to study how officers interact with the public. She said the footage would be processed to make sure people cannot be identified and that usage would be limited to the approved research project.
Participation by the Pasco Police Department would require city council approval, Warner said. The preview did not include project scope, data-handling protocols beyond de-identification, any data-sharing agreement text, or a timeline for the study.
Council members are expected to review staff recommendations at the workshop and may condition approval on data protections or other terms.
