I was punched at work unprovoked and it’s on camera. My boss doesn’t want to give me the footage. A police report has been filed. Am I entitled to a copy of the footage?

Without a court order, no they are under no obligation to give you the footage.
Personally, no. The prosecutor’s office can request (or subpoena) it, though.
Are you considering pursuing legal action against the person who punched you or your employer? That’s really the only way you can legally require that they hand over the footage to you. Otherwise only the police/prosecutor can.
Are you filing a workers comp claim against your employer for physical or mental injuries?
Were you punched by a co worker or someone else ?
If you sue them in a civil lawsuit, you can request the footage as part of the discovery process. I think you could get a contingency fee lawyer for this, meaning they only take a percentage of the settlement amount you get
How very Kalamazoo.
