Sheriff: $337,000 judicial security grant available, county must match 10%
Summary
Sheriff Kraushaar briefed the board on court security upgrades and a Wyoming Judicial Council grant opportunity of $337,000 that would require a 10% county match and completion of projects by June 2028, tied to a DHS assessment from Jan. 11, 2024.
Sheriff Kraushaar presented the Wyoming Court Security Committee annual report at the June 2 meeting and walked commissioners through upgrades and equipment changes following a security assessment. He said “a grant is available from the Wyoming Judicial Council for $337,000; the grant requires a 10% county match of funds utilized.” Projects funded under the grant would need to be completed by June 2028 and would address findings from the Jan. 11, 2024 U.S. Department of Homeland Security security assessment.
The sheriff reported the Court Security Committee held its second biannual meeting May 13 and that the county has made several equipment updates in the past year. Commissioners heard the timeline and funding conditionality and did not commit a matching amount during the meeting; next steps would include staff estimating the county match and project list if the board chooses to pursue the grant.
