Axon lists 2 Community Connect program(s) in Sarasota County. Community Connect is a voluntary program that lets residents and businesses register or integrate private security cameras with local law enforcement. Registering means police know the camera exists and can request footage. Integrating means the feed goes to them directly.
| Program | Place | Registered cameras | Integrated cameras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connect North Port | North Port, FL | not published | not published |
| Connect Sarasota County | Sarasota County, FL | not published | not published |
This is a starting point, not a finding.
Nobody has asked Sarasota County Sheriff's Office what it operates, what it costs, how long footage is kept, or who else can search it. These are private security cameras, not license plate readers, and the program is voluntary, so this is not evidence of wrongdoing. It is evidence that nobody has asked yet. Whether Sarasota County also runs plate readers or facial recognition is unknown, because no one has requested those records.
