Rockcastle Fiscal Court approves five‑year body‑camera contract for sheriff's deputies
Summary
The Rockcastle County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a five‑year contract with Motorola Solutions to outfit the Sheriff's Department with body‑worn cameras, at an annual county cost of $6,700.
Rockcastle County Fiscal Court voted unanimously on April 8 to approve the purchase and use of body‑worn cameras for the Rockcastle County Sheriff's Department.
The contract is for five years with Motorola Solutions and carries an annual cost of $6,700, which the Fiscal Court will absorb. The motion to approve the purchase was made by Magistrate McGuire and seconded by Magistrate Thacker; all magistrates voted aye.
A revised jail budget was presented to the court for review at the same meeting, but no formal budget vote occurred then. Sheriff Shannon Franklin and Jailer Nathan Carter were listed among meeting attendees during the discussion but specific operational details about deployment or retention policies were not recorded at this meeting.
The court recorded the procurement as part of routine business and did not specify a department to administer ongoing camera data storage or policy in the publicly posted minutes; those implementation details were not specified and may appear in future meetings or staff reports.
