In December 2018, the Compensation Board presented the Workgroup Study of the Impact of Body Worn Cameras on Workload in Commonwealth's Attorneys' Offices. The 2019 Budget continues and expands the existing Body Worn Camera Workgroup and relocates it from the Compensation Board to the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security. The Workgroup's final report is due November 15, 2019.  

The Panel monitors and assesses the implementation of statewide prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives at all levels in the Commonwealth.  Its 33 members facilitate cabinet-level coordination among all state agencies related to emergency preparedness, and issue quarterly reports on how their efforts are progressing.
