This transition will allow for off-site data storage, allowing the Sheriff’s Office to begin the process of discontinuing on-site data storage. Solution: Enter into an agreement with Motorola Solutions to provide modern equipment and technology with off-premise cloud storage. Result: The Sheriff’s Office will be equipped with updated Body Worn Cameras and In-Car technology to better serve the community.
