PRINCIPIS GROUP, INC.
Body-Worn Camera Program Strategy, Governance & Training
Principis Group helps law enforcement agencies design defensible body-worn camera governance and supervisory review models—so increasing video volume, emerging AI tools, and public scrutiny do not undermine professional accountability or officer rights.
Human in-the-loop review. Policy-driven governance. Defensible outcomes.
PRIMARY PATHWAYS
Evidence-based training aligned with body-worn camera policy, supervisory accountability, and real-world review demands.
Supervisor and Agency Training
Why Agencies Trust Principis Group with High Risk BWC Programs
Body-worn camera programs are no longer about equipment or storage. They operate at the intersection of policy, supervision, public records, labor agreements, and long-term public credibility. When review systems fail, the risk is rarely technical—it is organizational.

START WITH A READINESS ASSESSMENT
Before policies are revised, technology is selected, or AI-enabled review is considered, agencies need a clear understanding of their current exposure.
The BWC Readiness Assessment provides an objective evaluation of your body-worn camera program, supervisory review capacity, and governance framework—identifying where risk exists today and what must be addressed first.
This assessment is designed to answer three questions:
-
What is working, and what is not, in current BWC review practices
-
Where policy, supervision, or documentation gaps create risk
-
Whether the agency is prepared to responsibly scale review, including AI-assisted workflows
The result is a clear, defensible roadmap—not assumptions or vendor promises
