Sheriff’s Office wins multiple approvals: Westlaw renewal, Navy thermal imager lease, university affiliation, grants and K-9 purchase
Summary
The Public Safety Committee approved a package of Sheriff's Office transmittals — renewal of Westlaw, affiliation with St. John Fisher University for interns, a thermal imager lease with the Department of the Navy, multiple grant carryovers and a K-9 purchase — all recorded as 5-0 approvals.
Undersheriff Tammy Ryndock presented multiple transmittals for the Sheriff’s Office that the committee approved 5-0. Actions included renewal of the contract with Thomson Reuters for Westlaw legal research services; execution of an affiliation agreement with St. John Fisher University for student interns; entry into an agreement with the Department of the Navy for a thermal imager lease; acceptance of Child Passenger Safety and Police Traffic Services grant funds with accompanying 2026 budget amendments; and authorization to purchase a K-9 for the K-9 Division.
The minutes also record approvals to carry over remaining 2025 balances for several grants (COPS SVP23; Stonegarden 2023 and 2024; and the 2023 State Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program) with 5-0 votes. The K-9 purchase and grant carryovers were recorded together with other routine Sheriff's Office items; no additional debate is shown in the minutes.
Committee records show these transmittals were presented as routine authorizations; the minutes do not include contract dollar amounts or vendor pricing for the K-9 or the lease. The agenda packet is referenced for supporting documents and the full grant/contract details.
