Case Study: Missouri Law Enforcement Agency Reduces Policy Violations by 30% Using BlueDotte Audit

A mid-sized law enforcement agency in Missouri, staffed by approximately 60 sworn officers, faced challenges typical of many similarly sized departments: managing growing volumes of body-worn camera (BWC) footage and ensuring policy compliance through consistent, structured oversight.

Challenge

Prior to 2024, the department’s review process for body-worn camera footage was manual and sporadic. Supervisors had limited tools for tracking compliance trends, documenting violations, or identifying personnel in need of intervention. This reactive approach contributed to inconsistent accountability and preventable policy violations.

Leadership recognized the need for a more effective way to manage BWC oversight — one that could ensure officers were adhering to policy and that supervisors could respond to issues before they escalated.

Solution

In mid-2024, the department implemented BlueDotte Audit, an AI-driven BWC audit management platform designed to streamline video reviews, track officer performance, and document policy adherence. The platform allowed the agency to:

• Conduct randomized and targeted assessments of BWC footage
• Identify and log policy violations with context and supervisor feedback
• Monitor trends over time to guide training and personnel management
• Provide defensible documentation to reduce liability exposure

Results

After full implementation in Q3 of 2024, the department saw an immediate and sustained impact. Policy violations dropped by 25–30%, and supervisors gained new insights into officer performance through structured assessments.

By early 2025, the agency had continued using BlueDotte to manage incident reviews and improve accountability. A breakdown of monthly activity illustrates the platform’s continued effect:

2025 Compliance Snapshot (Jan–Apr 2025)

Key Observations

• Violation rates dropped steadily from January to April 2025, indicating increased compliance over time as officers adjusted to the consistent audit environment.
• Although fewer assessments were conducted in March and April, the violation rate per assessment decreased significantly, suggesting lasting behavioral change among personnel.
• With only 2 violations across 18 assessments in March, and zero violations in April, the department saw the lowest violation rates since implementing BlueDotte Audit.

Leadership Perspective

“BlueDotte Audit didn’t just give us software—it gave us structure. Our supervisors now have a consistent process, our officers know expectations are being monitored, and overall compliance has improved dramatically.”
— Patrol Division Supervisor, Missouri Agency

Conclusion

BlueDotte Audit provided this Missouri agency with a powerful and scalable solution to manage body-worn camera reviews. Since its implementation in late 2024, the agency has experienced:

• A 25–30% reduction in policy violations
• Improved officer accountability and compliance
• Actionable insights for supervisory staff
• Reduced exposure to internal and external liability

For agencies seeking a modern, proactive approach to BWC oversight, BlueDotte Audit delivers measurable results and sustainable performance improvement.
