Taylor County Sheriff’s Department to be outfitted with new body cameras

TAYLOR COUNTY—Body cameras are a great tool for officers that can provide information that can aid in a case, but what happens when the quality of video prevents officials from obtaining much needed footage? This is a concern heard by the Taylor County Commission recently.

Taylor County Sheriff Terry A. Austin approached the commission to ask for funding to purchase new cameras for his officers.

“The cameras we have now work well inside or during the day when there is plenty of light, the footage obtained at night is a different story all together,” he said.
