Federal Officers Camera Use for Safety Act mandates body cameras for federal officers in immigration enforcement.
The Federal Officers Camera Use for Safety Act, also known as the FOCUS Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require all federal law enforcement officers engaged in or supporting immigration enforcement activities to wear and operate body cameras while on duty. This aims to ensure transparency and accountability. The act mandates that video footage from these cameras be retained for at least three years, with extended retention possible under certain conditions. Supervisors are required to ensure officers receive training on body camera use.
