Scholars, practitioners, activists, policy makers, and several police departments have advocated for the implementation of body-worn cameras (BWC), a technological adoption promoted to address growing mistrust in the United States. This article examines perception of this technological adoption through 40 in-depth interviews in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, this article uses the context of police BWC to explore how the integration of technological advancements impacts the relationships between communities and local governments—namely police departments. The evidence suggests that residents believe BWC should improve officer behavior and increase police legitimacy, but cameras will not increase trust between police and the community. Based on the findings, this research identifies the limitations of BWC technology and assesses potential collaborative strategies available for police organizations related to the adoption and use of BWC. – Reproduced Policing, body-worn cameras, Technology and government, Citizen expectations 28473 American Review of Public Administration POLICING AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 392812 IIPA IIPA 2021-10-29 51(1), Jan, 2021: p.17-27 AR125842 2021-10-29 AR
