Police Bodycam footage

[Laurence K.]

Looking for some advice.A prior tenant did some malicious damage to my property.I called police, they attended and the report said they were wearing body worn cameras. I wanted to use the camera footage as evidence in a civil case against the tenant.I was initially told that it would take 2 weeks to get the footage to me, then that blew out to several months, and now finally 6 months later they finally get back to me and tell me the footage doesn't exist, even though the initial report said cameras were activated.That footage would have shown that the tenant was making threats to damage my property (which she made good on).Do I have any recourse on the police for failing to provide the footage on a timely basis?
