CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook is moving forward with an initiative to get her deputies wearing body-worn cameras. The sheriff’s office began testing different brands of body cameras in June 2024 and Cook says she’s decided to go with Axon as their vendor at a cost of about $1.4 million per year.
