Undersheriff reports jail statistics; commissioner requests Flock camera briefing after resident concerns

Berrien County Board of Commissioners · August 13, 2026

Summary

The Administration Committee received a report from Undersheriff Greg Sanders on jail operations (560 medical incidents, five ER visits, 37,700 meals; 1,570 sheriff calls) and Commissioner Jon Hinkelman requested a future Sheriff presentation on Flock cameras after resident opposition surfaced in communications.

Undersheriff Greg Sanders provided the Administration Committee’s jail report, detailing operational statistics for the month: 560 medical assistance incidents provided on site, five visits to the ER, and 37,700 meals served. The Sheriff’s Office had 1,570 calls for the month, according to committee minutes.

During commissioner remarks, Jon Hinkelman requested a presentation and education from the Sheriff on Flock cameras to help commissioners answer resident questions; the minutes note there will be a presentation at a future Committee of the Whole meeting. The Clerk had earlier distributed a resident email opposing Flock safety camera funding (email received Aug. 10, 2026), which the request for a briefing appears intended to address.

The minutes record the operational data but do not indicate any immediate policy change or vote on Flock cameras; the board scheduled the briefing for a future committee meeting to allow additional information and discussion.
