The Anderson Observer reports that the Clarendon County Sheriff's Department already runs 15 Flock devices and asked for 160,000 dollars to add more, part of a larger 1 million dollar request that lawmakers approved. The money for extra Flock cameras was redirected to dash cameras instead. Sheriff Tim Baxley leads the department. The reports give no contract date, term length or annual cost for the 15 existing devices.
