COUNTY SYSTEMS

Documented Sheriff surveillance systems.

DOCUMENTED

Body-worn cameras

Sheriff completed body-camera training and prepared field deployment in June 2024

Carroll County Board records from June 20, 2024 state that Sheriff Ryan Kloepping reported his department had completed body-camera training, was still working through software issues, and expected to begin field use the following week. NoRec treats this as a documented 2024 deployment milestone, not a verified current 2026 inventory.

PUBLIC RECORDS · FOIA

Records and official sources.

Primary government records are preferred. Where practical, NoRec keeps a local archival copy alongside the official source so citations remain auditable if a government URL later changes.
