25 Flock readers documented in the 2025 renewal
$61,000 renewal
The renewal authorized $61,000 for calendar year 2025.
Government complexes included
The resolution specifically identifies readers at the Judicial Center complex and Government Center among the countywide deployment.
Current 2026 configuration
The 2025 renewal establishes the documented count for that contract year. The published source set does not establish a 2026 renewal, current inventory, retention configuration, sharing list, or audit results.
BODY / IN-CAR VIDEO
Getac system approved for the Sheriff's Office
Five-year Getac lease
A 2020 Kane County resolution authorized a five-year lease through Midwest Public Safety Group for a Getac in-car and body-worn camera system.
Front, rear, and prisoner-compartment video
The county's executive summary describes front, back-seat, and rear camera capture together with body-worn video.
Cloud-hosted evidence management
The same record describes browser-based cloud review, retention-rule tagging, restrictive access controls, and an evidence-management back end for video, pictures, and documents.
COUNTY EDISCOVERY
Evidence.com adopted by the State's Attorney's Office
Kane County Finance Committee minutes from 2022 record the State's Attorney's selection of Axon Evidence.com for eDiscovery. The discussion cites unlimited storage, auto-transcription, keyword search, and compatibility with video evidence from Axon and non-Axon sources.
SCOPE
This is a Kane County State's Attorney evidence-management relationship, not proof that the Sheriff's body-camera system itself had switched from Getac to Axon.
MUNICIPAL DRONES
State reporting documents UAS programs inside the county
South Elgin Police
The SFY 2024 state report lists two drones and 43 flights, including multiple training flights at the Kane County Sheriff's Office.
Batavia Police
The same statewide reporting dataset lists Batavia Police as owning one drone.
Elgin Police
EFF's index of the statewide report lists nine Elgin Police drones and 73 flights during the SFY 2024 reporting period. NoRec therefore treats these figures as secondary-source confirmed rather than as a primary-source finding.
North Aurora Police
EFF's index of the same report lists four North Aurora Police drones and 12 flights during the reporting period.
