Commissioners approve a slate of public-safety and juvenile-justice grants, praise staff for $6M+ in awards
Summary
The court approved multiple grants — including $12,500 for body-worn cameras, a juvenile justice diversion grant, a state crisis intervention program, and a rifle-resistant vest replacement plan — and staff were credited with securing roughly $6.06 million in recent grant funding.
Trinity County Commissioners approved multiple grant applications and recognized staff for recent successes in securing external funding. Speaker 2 introduced a $12,500 body-worn camera grant that Speaker 6 moved to approve; the court voted in favor. The juvenile justice diversion grant and the state crisis intervention program also received approval after motions.
Commissioners discussed a rifle-resistant body armor grant to replace 15 vests and expand coverage to four constables and approved moving forward. Staff reported reducing two cybersecurity grant requests from $50,000 to $10,000 pending an IT needs assessment and suggested tabling some cybersecurity items until IT services are available. Speaker 3 praised grant coordinator Vicky and staff for what he described as “a little over $6,000,000” in awards in the prior six months, calling it a team effort.
A Crime Stoppers Assistance Fund item was pulled because of low response, and some grants were held for further information. The court recorded approvals, pulled items where appropriate, and directed staff to bring further details on cybersecurity and MOU-related grant items back for review.
