The camera\u2019s manufacturer is examining the camera, police have said. <\/p>\n<p>There were at least two other instances, which didn\u2019t involve use of force, when he didn\u2019t record his full encounters with the public, according to Dear\u2019s personnel file obtained by KOAT-TV. <\/p>\n<p>Under department policy, officers are supposed to record every interaction they have with members of the public. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if Dear was ever disciplined for any of the previous incidents in which he did not get video of his encounters. \u2026 <\/p>\n<p>The DOJ report said requiring lapel camera use is a good policy but that it\u2019s inconsistently used and not enforced strictly by APD. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found very few examples of officers being reprimanded for failing to record force incidents,\u201d the report reads. \u201cThe fact that few officers were reprimanded for this failure suggests that supervisors have also failed to insist on this form of accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.abqjournal.com\/398991\/news\/no-video-in-several-of-officers-arrests.html\">No video in several of officer\u2019s arrests | Albuquerque Journal News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No video in several of officer\u2019s arrests | Albuquerque Journal News By Nicole Perez \/ Journal Staff WriterPUBLISHED: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 12:05 am Albuquerque police officer Jeremy Dear\u2019s lapel video wasn\u2019t recording when he allegedly punched a man while trying to arrest him during a Downtown brawl in January 2013.
