With over 290 certified law enforcement deputies and 147 certified detention deputies, the training period will be substantial.” The sheriff’s office said the cameras will allow the agency to document interactions and obtain evidence during investigations. The footage will also prove important during the debriefing of critical incidents. Information on how much the body cameras would cost the agency was not released.
