Sheriff's office authorized to apply for traffic safety and SC AAP grants
Summary
The commission authorized the sheriff's office to submit a $22,000 traffic-safety grant application (25% in-kind match) and to apply for the federal State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SC AAP) to seek reimbursement for eligible correctional salary costs.
The board authorized two grant applications from the Elko County Sheriff's Office. First, the commission approved submittal of an application to the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety, for a $22,000 grant intended to reduce deaths and serious injuries related to motor vehicle crashes. Sergeant Mathis said the funding would support the equivalent of "about 360 extra man hours that are 100% traffic focused," with the 25% match provided in-kind by the department (vehicle hours and fuel).
Second, the board authorized staff to apply for the Bureau of Justice Assistance State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SC AAP), which can reimburse local jurisdictions for certain correctional officer salary costs where qualifying incarcerated individuals meet program criteria. Both applications were authorized by motion and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motions and voice approvals but does not list a roll-call tally.
