Carroll County Sheriff’s Office to spend $1.4M on body-worn and in-car cameras for deputies

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office has taken the first steps toward implementing a state-required body-worn and in-car camera program for all of its deputies. It will be at least a year until the cameras will be installed and used in the county, officials estimate. On Thursday the Board of Carroll County Commissioners unanimously approved a $1.4 million contract to purchase the cameras and related equipment for the sheriff’s office from Motorola Solutions, Inc., of Chicago. The sheriff’s office applied for and was awarded funds from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program in 2021.
