The New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) has started a new safety program that will place video recording and global positioning system devices in vehicles that transport people who receive services by OPWDD. The new system will make the transportation safer when individuals are in transit, help resolve complaints and maintain a record of evidence when there is an allegation of abuse. Also, recordings can identify false accusations against employees, reducing the need for law enforcement and OPWDD financial resources that could be better spent on true accusations.
