Three members of the Anchorage Assembly have proposed legislation that will be addressed next week concerning the release of police body camera footage in the municipality.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
In a statement, members Daniel Volland, Meg Zaletel, and Assembly Chair Felix Rivera wrote that the proposal calls for the release of all “recent officer-involved shootings and critical incidents” within 30 days of the legislation passing, if it does. It also will request the Anchorage Police Department to allow the family of an East Anchorage man — Kristopher Handy — to review the body cam footage of the shooting that killed Handy on May 13, at no cost to the family.
The Assembly said it will also ask the administration of Mayor Suzanne LaFrance and APD to reconsider its current body cam policies and look to alternative models, “such as those published by the American Civil Liberties Union” and the Los Angeles Police Department.”The action comes after a rash of officer-involved shootings in Anchorage — five in less than two months — that the Anchorage Police Department says were all caught on body cams, but none have been released.
