LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The morning after it complied with a court order to release body camera footage from a Clark County School District police officer, CCSD has issued a statement on the footage involving an altercation near Durango High School last year.
“As communicated to the ACLU in March 2023, we offered to release redacted copies of the video to them, provided they obtained permission from their clients,” CCSD said. “However, they refused and instead filed a lawsuit demanding the video footage.”
“Under Nevada law, we are required to protect the identity and safety of minors and the rights of police officers,” the statement added. “Those laws were upheld, and the release of the court-ordered video shows that the rights of citizens were honored and laws were followed despite the challenges of that day’s events near Durango High School.”
All of the videos released can be viewed here.
