Council donates outdated SWAT trailer to rural sheriff and approves police internship MOU with Georgia Gwinnett College
Summary
The council approved surplusing a 2009 Lark enclosed trailer from SSPD to Wilcox County Sheriff's Office and authorized an MOU with Georgia Gwinnett College to extend the police internship program; staff said the trailer is termite-damaged and the MOU requires no additional budget.
SSPD representative Joe Simone told council the department is seeking to surplus a 2009 Lark enclosed trailer that had been used by the SWAT team; Simone said the trailer is outdated, has termite damage and lacks a proper braking system. Council approved donating the trailer to the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office after brief discussion about the county's limited budget and ability to refurbish it.
Captain James McNabb presented a resolution authorizing a memorandum of understanding between the city and Georgia Gwinnett College to allow criminal-justice students to participate in the Sandy Springs police internship program. McNabb said the program typically hosts about six interns annually (roughly three per semester), that the city already partners with other institutions and that this MOU requires no additional budget; council voted to authorize the city manager to execute the MOU.
