The McDonald County Commission reviewed a proposal to pay for prospective employees to attend a police academy in exchange for a commitment to join and serve with the Sheriff’s Department.
After discussion and review of the proposal and the existing policy materials (attached for review in the minutes), the commissioners opted to continue the current Educational Assistance Policy rather than adopt a program to prospectively fund academy attendance for recruits.
The minutes do not record a formal roll-call vote on this item or list a mover or seconder; the decision is recorded as the commissioners’ consensus to leave the policy unchanged.
