County approves sheriff’s applications for traffic and recruitment grants
Summary
The Board authorized applications for a WASPC Traffic Grant to buy replacement scanners ($1,000) and a COPS Microgrant to fund recruitment and retention advertising (up to $200,000); both grants require no local match and were approved by motion.
Deputy Sheriff Blake Richards told the Board the WASPC Traffic Grant would provide $1,000 toward purchasing new scanners because the current devices are incompatible with the county's system. Commissioners approved the application by motion.
Richards also requested permission to apply for a COPS Microgrant to fund recruitment and retention advertising "up to $200K," with no local match required; the Board approved that application as well. Both motions were moved and seconded and recorded as carried.
