Associate Professor of Sociology Keith Guzik (together with Onook Oh and Ronald Ramirez from the CU Denver School of Business, and Tony Tong from the Leeds School of Business at CU Boulder) recently received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund a 3-year project examining the impact of body-worn camera (BWC) technology on police organizations. The team’s study looks to contribute to the burgeoning research on police BWCs by exploring the technology’s impact on the organization of policing. More specifically, the team is looking to identify how BWCs enhance or pose challenges to critical operations in police organizations, such as report writing, evidence procedures, citizen complaints, officer supervision, and officer training.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
