Resident asks how "special patrols" are logged; town administrator explains dispatch categories
Summary
During consent agenda discussion resident Julie Christensen asked what "special patrols" in the Lincoln County dispatch report mean; Town Administrator Aiken explained it is a dispatch logging category for focused enforcement (speed enforcement, DUI, underage drinking) and said the town can request special patrols and may obtain more detailed time data from the sheriff.
During the consent-agenda discussion a resident asked the council to clarify the Lincoln County Sheriff dispatch report item labeled "special patrols," which showed nine entries for October. Julie Christensen (291 Holly Drive) asked whether the report indicates how many hours the sheriff spends on the ranch.
Town Administrator Aiken replied that "special patrol" is a dispatch log that can represent focused enforcement activities such as speed enforcement, DUI enforcement or underage-drinking enforcement and that it is tracked differently for time. He said the dispatch report in the packet does not list total hours on the ranch but that the town could request more detailed data from the sheriff's office.
Chair added that the town can also request special patrols for concerns such as speeding. Aiken said the sheriff's office could provide more granular logs if activities were called out in a way that captures hours spent in the area.
