Commissioners approve mounting equipment purchase for sheriff
Summary
The commission approved buying mounting equipment for the sheriff’s department and requested a short evaluation period to test whether the new gear improves outcomes; the motion passed after a second and voice vote.
The Daniels County Commission voted to purchase mounting equipment for the sheriff's department after a motion and second on the floor. The board agreed the purchase would be useful but asked staff and the sheriff to provide a short test plan that measures effectiveness over an initial three‑month period.
One commissioner asked for a way to evaluate the equipment’s effectiveness: "Will there be a way to test and make sure to see if this is actually beneficial to us? I mean, can you take a timeline of 3 months and go, hey, in the last 3 months, we've done this versus the previous 3 months?" The sheriff’s office indicated they can track citations and other measurable outcomes to provide comparative data. The motion to purchase passed by voice vote and staff will prepare a simple evaluation plan and a signature-ready invoice for final processing.
