Transparency: The New Buzzword of the 21st Century”
In this episode, we discuss how law enforcement agencies define transparency and how agencies should work to be as transparent as possible. The panelists for this discussion include:

• Nelly Miles
• Adamy Myrick
• Katie Nelson
• Tamron Olden
• Gary Woodruff

We asked our five panelists these questions.

1. Defining Transparency in Law Enforcement: How do our panelists define transparency within their agencies, and what strategies are employed to balance it with operational security while building public trust?
2. Mechanisms and Technologies for Transparency: What are the current policies, technologies, or practices proving effective in enhancing transparency in police practices?
3. Impact of Body-Worn Cameras: How do body-worn cameras contribute to transparency and accountability, and how do agencies balance their use with legal and privacy considerations?
4. Communication and Perception of Law Enforcement Actions: How can law enforcement agencies improve the communication of their actions to ensure that the public’s perception aligns with the reality of policing?
5. Collaboration for Enhanced Transparency: How can Public Information Officers (PIOs) work alongside community organizations and advocacy groups to foster transparency and address concerns about bias and fairness in policing?
