Board seeks read‑only access to sheriff policy repository to strengthen oversight
Summary
Members asked about getting view‑only access to the sheriff's PowerDMS policy system so the board can review historical and current policies; staff said read‑only access is possible but security limits broad editing access.
Members raised the need for better access to the sheriff's policies for oversight work. The chair said PowerDMS contains a history of policy amendments and requested view‑only access so the board can review relevant documents without editing privileges.
Staff and legal advisors said view‑only access can be granted, but security and editing concerns limit full backend access. The board agreed to pursue read‑only permissions so committees can review policies and ground recommendations in the sheriff's publicly posted procedures.
