THE HERNANDO COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE IS PLEASED TO APPLY FOR THE FY24 EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM. THE SHERIFFS OFFICE IS REQUESTING THE FUNDS TO BE USED TO SUPPORT THE PATROL DIVISION BY PURCHASING IN-CAR CAMERAS. AT THIS TIME ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF THE PATROL VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH THESE CAMERAS. HAVING THESE IN-CAR CAMERAS IS AN ESSENTIAL ASSET TO THE SAFETY OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPUTIES AS WELL AS CITIZENS OF HERNANDO COUNTY. THEREFORE, IT IS OUR GOAL OF THE AGENCY TO SUPPLY ALL PATROL VEHICLES WITH IN-CAR CAMERAS.
