The Wake County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) received a $878,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753). The purpose of the grant is to purchase and deploy 200 body-worn cameras for detention officers, 30 in-car cameras for patrol deputies, and 60 radar devices for both the patrol and homeland security/special operations divisions. This equipment upgrade project aims to enhance surveillance, accountability, and safety measures for WCSO personnel, detainees, and the broader Wake County community. The grant funding will also support the storage and accessories required for the new camera and radar systems. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2027.
