(MIAMI, FL) – The Miami-Dade Black Affairs Advisory Board will host a “Village Dialogue” on police body cameras with several high-profile panelists to discuss the issue from the viewpoint both of law enforcement and the general public.

There has been much discussion on the efficacy of police body cameras in light of the need for transparency in law enforcement, and this Village Dialogue is aimed at gauging the community’s perspective on the issue.
