On 11/07/16 at 1634 hours, Dep. Richard Parker was dispatched ot the 3500 block of Trudyshire Drive in reference to shots being fired ni the area. Deputy Parker stopped two juveniles ni the area and “Terry Frisked”. I later received a complaint from hte juvenile’s mother about her children being stopped. I went ot review the BWC footage from Dep. Parker’s camera and discovered his camera was not activated during the encounter. The camera did come on as Dep. Parker was getting back
into his car after talking with the juvenile. I spoke with Dep. Parker and inquired why his camera wasn’t on during the encounter and his response was that he thought his camera was on. He activated it before he got out of the vehicle ot talk ot the juvenile and does not know why ti wasn’t recording. There was another deputy on scene who did have his BWC activated during the encounter and in that video I did not se Dep. Parker manipulate his camera while he was getting into his vehicle, but he did go out of the other deputies view for a moment.
tI si unknown if Deputy Parker failed ot activate his BWC before arriving on scene or if the camera malfunctioned. Deputy Parker was advised to activate his BWC before arriving on scene and ot ensure the camera is recording and working properly before exiting his vehicle. Written Warning
