Body-worn cameras have become one of the most important tools in modern policing — not just for transparency, but for investigations, evidence collection, and courtroom testimony.
On this episode of Forensics Talks, I’ll be speaking with Bryan Chiles, Senior Manager of Axon Forensics, about how Axon body cameras are helping shape the future of law enforcement. Bryan has been with the company since 2005 and has played a key role in developing and testing both TASERs and body-worn cameras. Today, he serves as an expert witness in cases involving Axon technologies and works closely with legal and forensic teams around the world.
We’ll talk about how Axon cameras handle authentication, SHA256 hashing, chain of custody, automatic activation, and more — and why these technical features matter when it comes to reconstructing events, reviewing use of force, and building solid cases.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
