Commissioner raises security concerns about vehicles stored at evidence center
Summary
A commissioner questioned whether a planned fence should have been installed at the evidence center after observing multiple vehicles and a search-and-rescue trailer parked outside; staff said items are processed and cameras are in place but acknowledged limited on-site security.
During the Feb. 9 Dolores County Board of Health meeting, a commissioner raised concerns about numerous vehicles and a search-and-rescue trailer parked at the county evidence center and asked whether the site had been intended to be fenced to protect evidence.
Staff responded that vehicles are processed before being stored and that cameras cover the buildings, but members noted the risk to evidence and suggested revisiting site security plans. "There's a lot of vehicles. They're not... It's not fenced. Was that supposed to be fenced originally?" the commissioner asked, prompting discussion about whether evidence that was used in crimes should be secured on-site or moved to a more secure location.
