County approves $325 special-event security rate proposed by sheriff
Summary
Sheriff Dean Wyckoff proposed a standard special-event security rate of $325 per officer for the first four hours and $50 per hour thereafter; the board approved the measure and directed the Auditor’s Office to invoice event sponsors.
Billings County commissioners approved a standard special-event security rate proposed by Sheriff Dean Wyckoff to create consistent billing and reimbursement to the county general fund.
Sheriff Wyckoff proposed establishing a standard rate of "$325 per officer for up to four hours, $50 per hour thereafter," and recommended events with 400 or more attendees require two officers. The board approved the rate by unanimous motion and instructed the Auditor’s Office to invoice event sponsors so payments would reimburse the county general fund.
The change is intended to simplify billing and ensure event-related officer costs are recovered by the county rather than absorbed by departmental budgets.
