The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Oct. 5 regular meeting to approve a $19,796 bid for two video system pole cameras for use by the Henry County Police Department, using federal seized funds to finance the purchase from Advanced Covert Technology. These will be added to the pole camera system that is currently being utilized continuously and providing various intelligence for ongoing criminal investigations and complaints, according to county staff. The police department will also be receiving $2,512.16 from the U.S. Secret Service Cyber Fraud Task Force, a multijurisdictional group in which the HCPD has participated since 2014. Those funds can only be used for expenses related to the task force. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
