Please see below for information concerning the recently installed cameras. As noted, the cameras serve as a tool for local law enforcement and no other department/person within county government has access. The cameras were obtained by and are operated by the Graham County Sheriff’s Office. Please reach out to the Sheriff’s Office for any additional information.

The camera systems currently installed in Graham County was not purchased under Sheriff Moody’s administration. These cameras were installed as part of a countywide initiative and serve as a valuable law enforcement tool.

Their primary purpose is to assist investigators in locating wanted individuals, identifying vehicles associated with criminal activity, helping solve crimes, and supporting efforts to address issues such as vandalism and illegal activity occurring in public areas. The cameras can also provide valuable information when investigating complaints involving street-level criminal activity.

These cameras are not used to spy on law-abiding citizens or monitor the daily activities of residents. Rather, they are a tool that helps law enforcement protect the community, deter criminal behavior, and enhance public safety while respecting the rights and privacy of our citizens.
