Clallam County commissioners reviewed a renewal of the county’s policing agreement with the Jamestown tribe that funds county deputies dedicated to liaison and public-safety coverage at the tribe’s casino and nearby areas.

Sheriff’s office staff told the board the tribe provided $288,000 in 2024 to fund two deputies, vehicle lease rates, training and equipment; in a discussion with tribal leadership the parties agreed to round the 2025 billing to $300,000 for accounting simplicity. Staff described how a dedicated liaison deputy assigned during weekday business hours helps countywide investigations by sharing casino surveillance and license-plate data and coordinates requests from other local agencies.

Commissioners asked about scope and billing. Staff reported that billing was current for 2024 and said they will send the tribe an initial invoice once the new formal agreement is signed. Commissioners agreed to place the agreement on the board’s Jan. 14 agenda for signature.

Ending: Staff said they will finalize the agreement paperwork and bill the Jamestown tribe once the board signs the renewed contract on Jan. 14.
