Sheriff Joshua Richie told the Gosper County Board of Commissioners on May 27 that Platte Valley Communications is working to configure department vehicles to operate on the statewide radio frequency system, which would allow officers to communicate directly over the state radio network rather than routing messages through dispatch or relying on phones.
Richie also said he is exploring the possibility of restarting the county’s K-9 program and is looking into potential funding sources to support a canine unit. The minutes do not record a timeline, cost estimate or a specific funding source for the program; no formal motion or vote was recorded on the K-9 topic during the session.
