Board approves Motorola body-camera system to replace aging equipment
Summary
Lieutenant Gill and staff recommended purchasing Motorola body cameras to replace a seven-year-old system that is failing; commissioners approved the purchase within the existing FY26 capital project and asked staff to pursue possible insurance reimbursement.
Lieutenant Gill presented a staff recommendation to replace the sheriff’s office body-camera system, explaining the current system is about seven years old, parts are no longer available, and cameras are failing. After demoing two vendors, staff recommended Motorola; Gill said deputies preferred Motorola following trial runs: "At the end of the demo, Motorola was the the camera that they really said were performed the best."

Commissioners asked questions about accessories and reuse of existing equipment; staff said older cameras would be repurposed to the jail as spares. The board approved the staff recommendation to purchase Motorola body cameras under the previously approved FY26 capital project and directed staff to pursue any available insurance reimbursement.
