AMENDED EXHIBIT A
The City of Miami Beach has been awarded a one (1) year extension by the Department
of Justice, in part, to answer questions that arose from the body-worn camera research
previously conducted by Consultant as part of the original body-worn camera research
project. In order to answer those questions, the following two (2) new research
experiments shall be conducted by Consultant.
1) Study.#1 —The Impact of Body-Worn Cameras on Use of Force
The goal of this study is to compare the public reaction when encountering police
officers based on whether or not such police officers announce that the
interactions are being recorded by the use of a body-worn camera. For this 120-
day study,'a specific number of police officers will be divided into two (2) groups,
both equipped with body-worn cameras. The only difference shall be that one (1)
group of police officers will have a sticker on their body-worn cameras with a
picture of a camera and the words "audio & video," thus notifying the public that
the interaction is being recorded; whereas the other group of police officers will
not have such sticker and words. The hypothesis is that people who are aware
that such interactions are being recorded will behave in a less aggressive
manner, and be more cooperative with the police officers. Consequently, the
number of cases where the use of force by police officers becomes necessary
will be reduced and, as a result, possibly the number of complaints resulting from
the use of force.
2) Study#2— Police Officer/Public Interactions
The goal of this study is to examine police officers' interactions with the general
public. In order to capture a representative sample of these encounters, a
stratified case sample from four (4) specific categories (domestic violence, public
order, assault on officers and proactive police activities) will be selected. A
minimum of thirty (30) encounters per category will be randomly selected for this
study.
The new studies will provide essential information about the way body-worn cameras
alter,-police,officer-p,ublic interactions, and especially the impact of body-worn cameras
on_police.officers';us a of force. The Consultant shall perform those additional Services
identifed,above and-pe compensated as detailed below.
Allocation of Fees-for-the.Services to be Provided by Consultant
• Project Development and Implementation Management- $53,125
The studies shall be managed by Dr Barak Ariel who will assist in developing the
coding sheet, data analysis, statistical assessment, and in implementing and
evaluating the project during the entire project cycle. This includes: drafting and
finalizing protocol designs; conducting statistical power calculations; calculating
randomization procedures, primary statistical analysis, data collection and
preparation at pre-, during- and post-intervention;write interim and final reports.
Cost: $625 per day x 85 days = $53,125
w
• Statistical Assessment-$3,500
Justice Tankebe, a Cambridge University lecturer in Criminology and a renowned
procedural justice researcher, will assist in developing the coding sheet and
establishing the core theoretical contributions of the findings.
Cost: $500.00 per day x 7 days = $3,500
• Data Coding and Synthesis - $18.000
The project is expected to produce a rich body of data to assess, in terms of
implementation, cost-benefits, and qualitative as well as quantitative data. The
body-worn camera footage is unfit for research and must be continuously
transformed into quantifiable and measurable data points. To accomplish this,
Consultant shall hire two (2) senior fixed-term staff members for the entire project
cycle to code the data.
Cost: $100 per day x 180 days = $18,000
