HR / PDR position regarding bodycam videos
Jonathan Meyer said he met with a handful of individuals from HR/Risk/PDR, the Sheriff’s Office, GTAC
and others regarding the HR / PDR position the commissioners approved to deal with bodycam videos.
Jonathan said the group concluded that the new public records position would fit best under the
Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, especially considering redaction needs.
Jonathan said his office can do the work. He discussed retention schedules, redactions and data storage.
Jonathan noted that it’s estimated that it takes 10 minutes to process every 1 minute of video recorded.
The group discussed the need to establish fees to fund the position.
The commissioners approved housing the position under the PA’s Office.
Sheriff Snaza thanked the Sheriff’s Office and all others involved for their efforts.
