Reno, NV— The Reno Police Department announces today that it has made changes to its “Employee Involved Shootings” policy.  Additional requirements have been added to the section on Command Responsibilities (Section IV, subsection C., #4.).  The additional requirements include releasing to the public within 14 days, the body camera footage of the incident.  It is important to note that some officer-involved shooting incidents involve multiple officers or multiple witnesses and investigations of those types of incidents are extremely time consuming.  In such incidents, the policy does allow for the release of footage to occur within 30 days in order to provide the investigating agency sufficient time to thoroughly conduct its investigation and to allow the Reno Police Department sufficient time to prepare the video for release.

In order to protect everyone involved and preserve the integrity of the criminal investigation (which will still be conducted by an outside agency in accordance with the Regional Officer Involved Shooting Protocol), the identities of those depicted, will be redacted.  As is the case now, the identities of those involved may be made public at the conclusion of the criminal investigation and District Attorney’s Office review.

Acting Reno Police Chief Tom Robinson wanted to thank the Reno community for their tremendous and overwhelming support of the men and women of the department and said that making these changes was necessary in order to continue maintaining the excellent relationship this department has always had with its community.  

This policy, along with all other Reno Police Department policies, can be found at renopd.com/generalorders.
