Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Henrico County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Police Surveillance Technology
Henrico Police just cut ties with Flock Safety cameras due to data privacy concerns, taking away a major tool used to track vehicles across the county. While privacy advocates are celebrating, law enforcement is now operating without a prominent surveillance system they previously relied on.
SAFE High Speed Driving Program
The Board was scheduled to get an afternoon briefing on the SAFE High Speed Driving Program, aimed at curbing dangerous street racing and high-speed driving.
Photo speed cameras in school zones
Ordinance 200-26 would let Henrico use photo speed monitoring devices in school crossing zones. That could mean automated speeding tickets near schools — a change many families would notice in daily school runs.
Enhanced hazardous duty benefits for EMTs
The county was set to vote on enhanced hazardous duty benefits for emergency medical technicians — a workforce and compensation matter for EMS personnel.
