West Columbia council approves mutual-aid agreement with Columbia College police
Summary
Council approved a memorandum of agreement with Columbia College's police department to formalize mutual aid; staff said the college's new chief is an alumnus of the West Columbia Police Department.
Chief Boyce presented a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Columbia College's law enforcement division and explained the college's new chief is an alumnus of the West Columbia Police Department. Chief Boyce said Chief Cook reached out to update the departments' relationship and that the city had not previously had an MOA with the college.
Council discussed whether to act immediately; a council member moved to approve the MOA that night, members raised hands in favor, and the council approved the agreement.
No vote tally by name was recorded in the discussion. Staff indicated the MOA had been presented for council review and could be acted on immediately if the council wished to do so.
