After reviewing the current contract for the Body Worn Camera Capital Project (4310DC092) it was determined that the contract would best be accounted for in the annual General Fund operating budget. This is due to the understanding that these cameras and equipment are leased, as opposed to owned County assets. Therefore, the funding is being transferred to the Durham County Sheriff’s Office General Fund and will be placed there in future fiscal years as well.
