Summary
The sheriff's office presented a JAG grant budget amendment to appropriate $8,000 in grant interest earnings, which will be split equally with the police department; police intend to buy in-vehicle printers and the sheriff's office intends to buy a scope for the SWAT team.
Forsyth County law-enforcement officials briefed the Board of Commissioners on an amendment to the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) project ordinance to appropriate approximately $8,000 in interest earnings associated with the JAG 2023 award.
Randy Hunsucker of the sheriff's office said program interest earnings must be reported to the Department of Justice and the grant budget amended to use the interest consistent with the award. The program income will be shared equally between the Winston-Salem police department and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office. Hunsucker said the police department intends to purchase in-vehicle printers, while the sheriff's office intends to purchase a scope for a rifle for the SWAT team.
Hunsucker also noted he is retiring Friday and the board expressed thanks for his service. No formal vote was recorded during the briefing.
Ending: Staff will bring the budget amendment forward for action at the business meeting and proceed with procurements once funds are appropriated.
