Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco has announced the termination of an agreement for license plate detection systems in the county. In a letter to county commissioners, Nocco expressed disappointment that a majority of the board no longer supports the system, which was originally approved unanimously in December 2024. He stated that ending the agreement will strain departmental resources and negatively impact crime solvability and efforts to locate missing persons and trafficking victims. The sheriff explained that his department’s policy aimed to balance law enforcement needs with privacy concerns. Nocco noted that the decision was influenced by discussions at recent board meetings on August 11th and 25th, where commissioner support appeared to wane. The termination of the agreement will become effective on September 30th. This development occurs as Nocco, a Republican, campaigns for a special election to represent District 21 in the Florida State Senate.
