LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice has approved a statewide body-worn camera policy.

The policy was adopted Friday after three hours of testimony from law enforcement officials.

The policy doesn’t require agencies to buy or use body cameras, but creates minimum standards for their use. Among those is the requirement that most interactions of police with the public be recorded. Exceptions listed in the policy include interviews with domestic assault and rape victims and casual interactions at festivals and some policy-sponsored events, such as National Night Out.
