Constable asks why vehicle-audit findings delayed; commissioners table policy discussion
Summary
Constable Sabino Morales said he has waited five months for results of an audit affecting take-home vehicles and said he had not been informed of findings. Commissioners discussed fairness and liability and tabled the item until a new vehicle policy is ready, directing staff to return with a revised policy.
Constable Sabino Morales (Precinct 3) pressed the court for information about an audit that has delayed take-home vehicle assignments for his office. Morales said he had not been informed about findings or investigations and noted that other constables had access to take-home units while he did not. "How long is it gonna take for this audit to be complete?" Morales asked, saying he had not been briefed and had not met with auditors.
County commissioners and legal staff said certain details were limited because of an ongoing investigation and discussed the need to treat all law-enforcement offices consistently without opening liability by singling out one office. The court moved to table the agenda item and amended the motion to bring the matter back when a revised vehicle policy was ready; the motion carried. The court directed staff to continue coordinating with risk and HR to update the policy and return to the next available meeting when the policy work is complete.
