County attorney seeks Axon and HotDocs licenses, plus additional staff for heavy CPS caseload

The county attorney told commissioners the office needs HotDocs software for CPS ($1,500/year), Axon/evidence.com licenses (approximately $18,000/year if locked in) and three staff positions (assistant county attorney, investigator, legal secretary) to handle rising CPS, juvenile and protective-order workloads.
