Commissioners authorize $63,878 for Axon body and in-car cameras for interdiction team
Summary
Randolph County approved using $63,878 in law-enforcement restricted funds to purchase Axon body cameras and a five-year in-car camera contract for interdiction and VNET units.
The Randolph County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 4 authorized the expenditure of $63,878 from law-enforcement restricted funds to acquire Axon body cameras and in-car cameras for the county’s interdiction team and VNET units.
Sheriff’s office staff said the county already uses Axon technology and the proposed devices will integrate with existing systems. The in-car cameras will be procured under a five-year contract; body-camera subscriptions will be renewed annually as part of the department’s equipment schedule.
The board approved the purchase, authorized the county manager to sign any required contracts, and approved the related general-fund budget amendment. A commissioner noted available restricted-fund balances and staff confirmed purchasing procedures and state/local purchasing thresholds will continue to apply.
No individual votes were recorded by name in the meeting minutes; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
