Commissioners sign JAG resolution for body cameras and approve violent-crime grant application for juvenile center

The commission signed a resolution to authorize the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) application, which staff said would provide about $4,700 to purchase three body cameras. A presenter (S2) described the resolution as the necessary step for the city/county to submit the application and receive the equipment funding if awarded.

"...about getting, about $4,700 in which we're gonna buy 3 eye pro body cameras," said the presenter (S2). The commission also voted to submit a SFY 2027 local violent crime prevention grant application for $24,160 to acquire three portable radios and one fingerprint scanner for the new juvenile center; staff explained the fingerprint scanner will eliminate a multi-step fingerprint transfer process currently used.
