Board approves replacement of three sheriff's vehicles after total losses

Blackhawk County Board of Supervisors · August 25, 2026

Summary

The board approved purchase of three sheriff's vehicles (two 2027 Dodge Durangos and one 2026 Chrysler Pacifica) using insurance proceeds and the county self‑insured property fund after the originals were totaled by hail or collisions.

A resolution to purchase three replacement vehicles for the sheriff's office was approved by the board. The vehicles — two 2027 Dodge Durangos (one for patrol, one for civil use) and one 2026 Chrysler Pacifica — were described by the sheriff (S11) as replacements for units recently totaled by hail damage and a deer strike. The purchases will be funded using insurance proceeds and the county's self‑insured property fund.

The sheriff said the vehicles are obtained via a state bid package and are law‑enforcement grade, noting a small price difference where one vehicle needs a patrol center console. "These are law enforcement grade," the sheriff said in explaining specifications and procurement process. The board approved the resolution by roll call.
