Former Police Officer and Firm Founding Partner Gene Ramirez Makes the Case for Cameras

Eugene P. Ramirez is a founding partner of the firm, and a former police officer. He has written for Police Chief Magazine and has appeared on MSNBC and Al Jazeera America. He is nationally known as an expert on BWC's, or Body Worn Cameras. His most recent article is published on TakePart.com.
