Platte County commissioners voted July 7 to approve a contract with SHI and its subcontractors to provide information-technology security products and services.

Jeffrey Shanks presented the item for the sheriff's office, identifying the contract as 2025CO097 and saying the document had been confidential due to security concerns. He said the budget impact for the contract is "$66,505.62" and that the amount was included in the 2025 budget. The agreement was reviewed by county counsel and the auditor.

The commission moved and seconded the item and approved it on a 3-0 roll call; no commissioners requested additional public discussion during the presentation.

Why it matters: the county described the purchase as supporting the maintenance and security of county networks. The presenter noted confidentiality concerns about specific security details; the transcript did not include product names, contract length or implementation schedule.
