Staff flags Motorola body camera need for constable as possible FY25 budget item
Summary
Staff told the court the constable's office lacks a functioning body camera and listed a Motorola body-camera purchase as a potential budget increase to be considered in the FY2025 draft.
During budget review, staff raised an equipment request for a Motorola body camera for a constable (precinct clarified during discussion). Budget staff said the constable currently lacks a body camera and characterized the device as a necessity for that office.
"The Motorola body camera for constable 1, he is without a body camera. It is a necessity for his office," staff said. The item was listed as a possible increase (number 8 on a spreadsheet) rather than a funded purchase in the draft. Commissioners did not take final action during the special meeting; staff said the request would remain on the spreadsheet for consideration during FY2025 budget deliberations.
No vote or appropriation took place at the Aug. 21 meeting.
