Security Surveillance System for the Lee County Sheriffs Office Chief Deputy Randall Butler provided the board with a request for a security surveillance system at the Lee County Sheriff's Office. The proposed system will allow the Lee County Sheriffs Office to have complete surveillance of the areas outside of the courthouse and old courthouse including the parking lots. The surveillance will be forensic in nature, meaning that once an incident occurs, staff will be able to view the footage in order to clearly identify what happened. The system will also afford the Sheriffs Office the opportunity to view real-time activity allowing them to monitor activity outside the courthouse. The system is one similar to the one at the Government Center, which has allowed the County to improve security and safety without adding staff. A representative from the security surveillance system company was present to voice support for the system and answer questions. Commissioner Reives moved to approve the purchase of a security surveillance system for the Sherriff's Office. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Dodson, Knecht, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan Nay: None The Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. E.
