Who uses body cameras in Pershing County?

What we do not know

Pershing County Sheriff

  • Whether the redaction equipment brought the office inside the NRS 239 timeframes, and what a footage request costs and takes today.
  • What the LensLock lease says about retention, access and what happens to the footage when the five years end.
  • Whether the Sheriff's Office has the written body camera policy NRS 289.830 requires, containing all six named elements.
  • How many requests for body camera footage the office received in the twenty-one months before it could redact.

What body cameras are
