Sheriff’s office presents annual report: calls, transports and jail population metrics
Summary
The sheriff’s office reported quarterly and annual operational statistics, including roughly 6,635 calls for service, 304 accidents, 126 citations, average jail population ~30, and various financial recoveries; supervisors voted to place the annual report on file.
The Gage County sheriff’s office presented its annual screening‑station and operational report during the Nov. 26 meeting, detailing calls for service, transports, citations and jail metrics.
The report covered a range of operational figures for the reporting period: 6,635 calls for service, 304 accidents, 126 citations and approximately 271 arrests in the reported categories. The jail reported an average population of about 30 inmates and described outside hold costs and medical expenses (outside hold emergency medical care cited as $37,485.61 during the period). Staff also reported $25,008.10 recovered in the quarter and various fee and commissary income items.
Supervisors asked clarifying questions about paper versus arrest‑warrant service, DOT fingerprinting availability in the county and the reasons arrest numbers varied year‑to‑year. The board moved to place the sheriff’s annual report on file (motion moved by Lytle, second by Adams) and the motion carried by recorded vote (5‑0 as recorded in the transcript segment).
Next steps: no additional board action required; report placed on file for the county record.
