Sheriff: deputies to be assigned to schools; county to increase highway patrols
Summary
Sheriff Ellison told the council the county plans to increase trooper coverage on highways and make assignments to have a deputy at schools, and discussed mental-health/crisis response initiatives.
During the Feb. 20 meeting Sheriff Ellison reported the county will increase troopers on the highways and make assignments so that a deputy will be present in school zones, referencing a School Resource Grant as part of staffing plans.
Ellison discussed broader mental-health and crisis-response work, including programs for veterans and children and said the state Department of Economic Security (DES) would utilize available programs; he told the council he would notify Vice Mayor Smith about upcoming meetings related to those efforts. Mayor Blake asked about school zones; Ellison said assignments will be made to have a deputy at the schools.
The transcript does not provide a schedule for additional troopers, details of the School Resource Grant award for Duncan, or formal commitments of specific personnel beyond the stated intent to assign deputies.
