RAEFORD, N.C. (WTVD) — The Hoke County Sheriff’s department is equipping deputies, including school resource officers, with body cameras.
“We’re not hiding behind anything,” said Sheriff Hubert Peterkin during a Wednesday press conference. “This shows that we’re not hiding. This shows that we’re willing to go up front and do what we need to do.”
The $200,000 investment is funded through county drug busts, and includes 30 new car cameras. Fifteen body cams will be rotated between SROs at the middle schools and Hoke High School, as well as special operations teams and deputies who serve warrants.
