Who uses body cameras in Josephine County?

What we do not know

Josephine County Sheriff

  • The body-worn and in-car camera policies (the published manual is image scans).
  • The original in-car contract the 2024 renewal extends, and the retention settings for footage in Axon's evidence platform.
  • Whether the District Attorney's 2026 Axon Justice subscription and the Sheriff's camera programs share one evidence store, and under whose retention rules.

What body cameras are

A camera worn by an officer, recording encounters with the public. What it captures, how long the footage is kept and who may watch it are set by department policy rather than by one statewide rule.
