Police are under scrutiny like never before, thanks to incidents like the shooting of an unarmed man by police in Ferguson, Missouri last year. 

Some--clearly not all--questions can be resolved by keeping better records of police activities.

Chief Mike Moran joins us to talk about their uses, and their effectiveness.
