WORTHINGTON Nobles County commissioners on Tuesday adopted a policy regarding the implementation and use of body-worn cameras by the Nobles County Sheriff’s Office.
The action followed a public hearing in which no testimony was given. Sheriff Kent Wilkening said he had not received any written testimony during the public comment period, and requested the policy’s adoption.
Wilkening said he plans to purchase 10 cameras, which had been budgeted for, at a cost of approximately $18,000.
Commissioner Donald Linssen asked how long the audio-video must be retained by the department, and whether additional staffing was required to upload the data to the server.
