“The skeptics out there are
going to say you can alter a
video,” he said. “You can’t
with this system.”
Edmiston said people can
submit reasonable public re-
cords requests for the video
¿OHV XVLQJ D IRUP DYDLODEOH
on the department website.
As with other police records,
not all information can be
released. He said video from
WUDI¿F VWRSV DQG ¿HOG LQWHU-
views will be accessible, but
records from active criminal
investigations probably will
not be released immediately.
“Our intent is to try to be
as transparent as possible, as
open as possible,” he said.
Edmiston said, however, if
DQ RI¿FHULQYROYHG VKRRWLQJ
is recorded, a criminal inves-
tigation would be conducted
by another law enforcement
agency, and the video would
probably not be immediately
available. He said the depart-
ment might also “have to get
a green light” from its insur-
ance company before releas-
ing such material.
The department charges
$10 per request, plus $35 per
hour of work and $2 per DVD.
Edmiston said the department
will try to answer requests
within a 10-day period.

Cameras at the station already
record interviews and interac-
tions, he said, and any redun-
dant or irrelevant material re-
corded by the body cameras
uses valuable storage space.

data is uploaded to the secure

CELEBRATION:
7,000 this year.
“Hopefully, we can in-
crease the numbers every
year a little bit at a time, and
that’s what we’re looking for-
ward to,” he said. “As things
are going by, we’re getting a
lot of support from the com-
munity. We’re probably go-
ing to be the second biggest
event in Hermiston besides
the Umatilla County Fair.”

Technically, the cameras
are always recording video
while turned on, but the data
