\"One thing that we helped support was the Community Foundation 5 k. They had about they had over a thousand runners,\" said Doug, Emergency Management staff. He said public-safety personnel supported the run and the celebration route.

On radio and communications, EMA staff said mobile installations were largely complete and the office conducted a countywide \"CAP\" coverage test (referred to in the transcript as a CAT p test) that breaks the county into grids to check signal coverage. \"Last I think it was 2 weeks ago, we did what they call a CAT p test ... we have not got our information back from that yet, but it should come back week or 2 is what I've been told,\" Doug said.

EMA staff also briefed the committee on preparations for the Moon Pie Festival, noting heat concerns and first-responder coverage for runners and festival attendees. \"It's supposed to be, heat index maybe in triple digits,\" he said, and EMS will be present for runners and vendors.

The committee asked no new action on these items; the report was included in the packet and approved along with other routine reports during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Public Safety Committee June 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Emergency Management staff told the Public Safety Committee they supported a Community Foundation 5K with more than 1,000 runners, are completing mobile radio installations and ran a countywide CAT coverage test; they also briefed the committee on Moon Pie Festival public-safety planning and heat concerns for attendees.","taxTitle","Bedford County, Tennessee","taxId",28224,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195027,"Sheriff reports 70,879 patrol miles; jail programs highlight garden, trees and rehabilitation efforts",344,163000,507000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3862932-3bd9f408dccc7b0aa232b03a79e80195&start=163&end=507","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3862932-3bd9f408dccc7b0aa232b03a79e80195/thumbnail_163000.jpg","/articles/6195027/Bedford-County/Tennessee/Sheriff-reports-70879-patrol-miles-jail-programs-highlight-garden-trees-and-rehabilitation-efforts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195027-35445818d950bf6312f0b1533322ea5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770649369&Signature=GS6bv-qIVODDqVK6-i-GWdOXgzaX5vvzeUDdofQ4d8C-NWksA5XAZRe7yZCm6dr~WmXf8GHK5HoXN9GNWoqvzq4S7pCjPqodrIGgE6psKOOnWwi6K4pNFPmq~LPwNu5UItq0mxJUS3tB34QZ0CnJ46RAzNrIeFOQGpmpEDDm5b05xUlzHGiuZ2UF~JSL9VdhVGVCnbEk6AKv~KXEUfl6tsD8rbiZbj9qVKKsOCtunuGFvQDTmrA6fl2V5~f~B~BhWmwMFNQphopmpbnxUguiKfTOzrCXbRrmGBvzHauAjJDkWUgoJRpnPmi4XaMcScX9dTJ9q7PhMELmDvtTKjil1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bedford County Sheriff told the Public Safety Committee that deputies logged 70,879 patrol miles in May and that the warrants division served 898 warrants, producing 310 arrests during the reporting period.

\"The total miles that the Bedford County Sheriffs patrolled in the month of May was 70,879,\" said the Bedford County Sheriff. He also reported 481 investigations, 52 traffic accidents, 247 traffic stops and 820 total 911 calls; the May court report recorded 5,001 people entering the judicial complex with deputies providing security for 40 court sessions and 1,409 individual court cases.

The sheriff said auditors praised the dispatch office. \"They said it's great that it was, the warrant was clean,\" he said, adding auditors were \"very pleased\" with the work that keeps deputies safe.

Jail staff described rehabilitation programs anchored by a garden and related projects. \"Garden is fantastic. I think last Thursday or Friday, for today, we took in about 500 pounds of produce,\" a jail staff member said, describing how the program teaches skills and work ethic. The staff member said the program has expanded to include a tree program (\"we've got 5 or 600 trees we're growing out there right now\") and beekeeping; participants also plan tours and graduations.

Officials provided jail population and budget-related figures: the daily jail population was 337; 379 people were booked in May; the jail served 32,266 meals with a reported total expenditure of $45,656 (about $1.36 per meal). The sheriff reported roughly $150,000 in revenue from state inmates (he said the figure could be closer to $170,000), $48,000 from cash bonds, and about $20,000 from phone revenues.

County commissioners praised the rehabilitation work. \"I wanted to just to give you, a lot of kudos personally,\" said a county commissioner, praising Lieutenant Luciana Cook and the MRT program for its community impact. The meeting record shows praise and ongoing programming but no formal vote to change jail policy in this session.","At the Public Safety Committee meeting, the Bedford County Sheriff reported monthly patrol and arrest statistics, described a favorable audit of dispatch operations, and jail staff outlined a garden, tree and beekeeping program tied to rehabilitation and skill-building.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195032,"Bedford County animal control recognized as no-kill shelter for 2024",194,50000,244000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3862932-3bd9f408dccc7b0aa232b03a79e80195&start=50&end=244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3862932-3bd9f408dccc7b0aa232b03a79e80195/thumbnail_50000.jpg","/articles/6195032/Bedford-County/Tennessee/Bedford-County-animal-control-recognized-as-no-kill-shelter-for-2024","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195032-118c89aeece616c2a8ddc567e854807e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770649369&Signature=H3Wo2iG7E9bKDmAyqu-63R6pX5EAogIIGKNwWFLiRN2VsvWSTHbgJQct1aAJL3ELfgAyxRERBxV4-umz95owlGjsD9j3XwJKX6L7SIid3QqhZjzszwyDSWdL3rwBH2Bfddxk58EG97QMmrqScKZbl-QGNzm45PYY0vlL6HE2UC1SuA-PMGfNYjEW2h8dp3mmwG99sDuMWY4C-Z5Ao2FGY5SiCpGR55zVEAvUdqs3xgJ5vjV~38y~B9ziNq~pjkDC~9Px1zzGCtu28ceEcbJLn5-gobK3YnZBUzXv95873pDePyRto95q7YmFJqmGDsWMaxFw4o0TfQjZCv-Al9hZPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bedford County animal control staff told the Public Safety Committee that Best Friends recognized the county shelter as a no-kill facility for 2024 and presented the agency with a plaque and letter.

The recognition matters because county staff combine animal-control responsibilities with an adoption program the department said is difficult to sustain. \"Best Friends ... recognized us and sent us a very nice plaque and a very nice letter for being a no kill shelter in 2024,\" said Jesse, animal control officer. Jesse added that the agency will \"try to get that out there a little bit\" to publicize the designation.

Committee members praised the shelter’s work and emphasized the difficulty of maintaining a no-kill status while also carrying out animal-control duties. The committee chair said the county was \"proud of you\" and noted that a live-release rate at or above 90% for a year is considered a win. The minutes do not record additional policy action or funding tied to the recognition.

The recognition is an award and does not itself change county policy; the plaque and letter are being publicized by staff as part of ongoing adoption and animal-control work.","Bedford County animal control staff reported receiving a plaque from Best Friends recognizing the facility as a no-kill shelter for 2024 and discussed adoption efforts that helped achieve a live-release rate of about 90% or higher.","actionData","errors"]
