Commissioners approve contract to expand in-car Axon camera system for constable fleet
Summary
The court approved a five-year Axon in-car camera contract estimated at $124,000 total, with the county's share about $26,000 per year; funding will come from fleet and contract accounts.
The Commissioners Court approved an updated contract to add in-car Axon camera systems to eight additional constable vehicles.
Constable Johnson described the purchase as a five-year program: "which would bring the cost to a $124,000 over a 5 year program, which would cost us $26,000 a year," he said, adding that the county has funds available in fleet vehicle budgets and that the contract will cover the balance. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the contract by voice vote.
County officials noted the newer cameras and software require an updated system to maintain compatibility with county equipment; no commissioner opposed the purchase.
