New body and dash cams

Outdated dash cams and body cams will soon be upgraded at the Wharton County Sheriff’s Office following commissioners recent approval of an estimated $200,000 dollar purchase from Coban Technologies. Last month Sheriff Shannon Srubar made a request to replace cameras that are no longer repairable. He got nod to explore a $33,000 dollar grant to replace some of the body cams with a plan to use American Rescue Plan Act funds for the rest.
