Resolution Body

The Sheriff’s Office would like to equip all squad cars as well as officers with the in-car and body camera technology.  The 2022 Sheriff’s Budget did not include funding for this at the original budget time as we were waiting for radio upgrades first.  With the new radio purchases the camera features will directly interact with the radio.  We did receive bids from other vendors; however, the other vendors would not interact with our radios.  The other vendors cameras would also not connect to the current modems we carry in our squads.
