Sheriff reports jail painting paid from commissary funds, higher inmate counts and body cameras ordered
Summary
Sheriff Ryan Swope told commissioners the jail interior is being painted with inmate commissary funds, inmate counts are higher than normal, six body cameras were ordered for correction officers, and a patrol car previously damaged was totaled by insurance; a jail tour for commissioners is scheduled for Feb. 13.
Sheriff Ryan Swope reported that the interior of the Crawford County jail is being repainted using inmate commissary funds so there is no impact on the county general fund. He said inmate numbers are "higher than normal" and that the department has ordered six body cameras for correction officers. A patrol car involved in an accident last year was declared totaled by the insurer.
Swope invited commissioners to a tour of the jail scheduled for Feb. 13 after the commissioners' meeting. He also noted the Opioid Steering Committee is implementing an RFP process for grant requests; the minutes do not provide additional details on the RFP timeline or funding amounts.
