The court approved one‑time funding for body armor covering six constable office members and deferred broader uniform allowance policy decisions to a future date.

The full story

A constable (speaker 13) requested funding for body armor that had expired in his office. He asked the court to purchase six vests at $1,600 each, a total request of $9,600. The constable also discussed related equipment needs and a potential storage container but indicated he would back off the nonessential container request if the body‑armor funding were approved.
