We do require that someone explain why they want to take a particular class. Even if it’s something not related to their current job, if they can articulate why they want to take the class to their supervisor, it is likely to be approved if the agency has the staffing and money to send them. Alternatively, if they are denied, there is usually nothing that stops them from taking a day off from work and attending the class on their own dime/time.
Deputies may mute the audio function of the BWC system when they are not interacting with a suspect, witness, victim, or other person involved in an incident. When it is necessary to mute the audio, deputies should verbally state the reason before muting or immediately upon unmuting. If the video is stopped for taking evidentiary photographs, change of assignment (SWAT, MOURT, etc…), personal break, or other justified reason the deputy should narrate into the BWC the reason for stoppage and if needed when video is restarted.
