The Young County Commissioners Court approved a Flock Safety contract on August 20, 2025 covering 26 cameras serving Graham, Olney and the rest of the county. Lieutenant Will Cauthern of the Young County Sheriff's Office said the system is an investigative tool and that each person's use of it will be heavily overseen.
