SHERIFF’S CORNER – AUGUST 2026

After careful consideration, the Jerome County Sheriff’s Office has decided not to renew our contract with FLOCK automated license plate reader cameras for the upcoming fiscal year.

While FLOCK technology has proven to be a valuable tool in assisting law enforcement, we must carefully weigh the benefits of any technology against its cost and the trust of the community we serve. Given concerns surrounding the use of this technology, including circumstances that have occurred within our own agency, we believe that continuing the program is not the best use of county resources at this time.

With the support of the Jerome County Commissioners, we have elected to redirect the funds previously used for the FLOCK program toward the salaries of our dedicated employees. Investing in the men and women who serve Jerome County every day remains one of our highest priorities.

We appreciate the continued support and trust of our community and remain committed to using taxpayer dollars responsibly while providing professional and effective law enforcement services.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sheriff Gary Taylor
Jerome County Sheriff’s Office
