Video Quality in Public Safety: 4th Annual Homeland Security Defense and Education Summit, Georgetown University
This presentation is from track four of the 4th Annual Homeland Defense and Security Education Summit held on February 24 and 25, 2010 in Washington D.C. This presentation focuses on Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS). "VQiPS was established by the U.S Dept. of Homeland Security/Science and Technology Directorate to help public safety agencies assess user needs for video and relate them to technical performance specifications and standards. The VQiPS Project is organized to create a document which will enable users to successfully purchase a video system, or parts of a video system, that provide the required level of video quality."

South of the Border: Legal and Privacy Underpinnings of Canadian and U.S. Approaches to Police Video Usage
From the Abstract: "This article utilizes modern privacy theory to examine the differing approaches of Canadian and U.S. law enforcement to the use of camera technology and advancing video analytics. The article documents the deployment of camera technology in two comparably-sized urban centers in Canada and the U.S. The reception of Canada and the U.S. to policing strategies utilizing sensors like cameras and video analytics tools like license plate and facial recognition are in sharp contrast. The article then offers a summary of Canadian and U.S. legal privacy protections following Alan Westin's privacy model. This analysis suggests that the differences in the use of technology stem from philosophical and legal assessments of privacy rights. Specifically, protection for privacy concepts like anonymity and reserve explains the differing approaches. Understanding those differences is useful for administrators on either side of the border to plan their use of emerging imaging sensor technology and analytics."

Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS): Policy Considerations for the Use of Video in Public Safety
"This document represents the efforts of the Video Quality in Public Safety (VQiPS) Working
Group's Policy Subcommittee to provide guidance for government agencies crafting written
policies and procedures for the use of closed circuit television (CCTV) video data and metadata
in a variety of public safety applications. This Subcommittee, consisting of experts in many
areas of public safety, held meetings in person and via teleconference over several months in
2015 and 2016 to discuss important policy issues related to CCTV use. The purpose was not to
provide a template or best practices document, but instead to highlight policy considerations
for agencies in the process of establishing or implementing recently established video systems.
These considerations might also be useful for agencies that have older video systems, but want
to examine whether their established policies reflect the current social and legal environment."

'Someone to Watch over Me?' Privacy and Governance Strategies for CCTV and Emerging Surveillance Technologies
From the thesis abstract: "Responding to concerns of terror around the world, law enforcement agencies are rapidly moving to utilize a range of surveillance technologies to address the threat. While the lead technology in this area is closed circuit television (CCTV), other technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID), global positioning satellite (GPS) technology and biometrics are also being expanded for use in monitoring human activity. These systems share common features and can be interrelated and controlled with developing computer technologies. They can also be used by government for a range of other purposes. However, use of these technologies has implications for individual privacy. This research examines the nature of privacy and existing legal protections. It also investigates a range of approaches to govern the use of these developing technologies. It is a critical governmental function to administer the use of that technology to ensure that it is related to appropriate government purposes and that individual civil rights are protected. To be successful, that governance scheme will have to address key privacy concerns while remaining flexible enough to adapt to changing technology. Informed by this research policymakers will be better able to develop effective governance strategies."
