S 3633 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the use of body-worn cameras on certain correction officers

S 3633 requires correction officers supervising general population inmates at maximum security facilities to wear body-worn cameras during duty hours, recording all audio and video interactions with incarcerated individuals. The law mandates that recordings be stored for at least six months, with specific standards for equipment and privacy protections to prevent misuse as surveillance. The commissioner must issue an initial report within one year and annual updates evaluating the cameras' impact on safety metrics like assaults, injuries, and deaths. This bill directly affects correction officers and incarcerated individuals at designated facilities, focusing on transparency in officer-inmate interactions.
