Police body-worn camera (BWC) footage has emerged as a critical aspect of law enforcement that ensures legal transparency, officer accountability, and the protection of civil rights. However, effectively processing this data remains a significant challenge due to its multimodal video format. BWC videos, in many cases, comprise chaotic scenes with low visual quality, rapid movement/interactions, and high-noise audio that make visual understanding a challenge for even SOTA multimodal models. Current Vision-Language Models (VLMs) frequently overlook critical forensic details, such as the presence
