Commissioners ask Sheriff's Office for details on uninsured drone, trailer insurance request

Board of Allen County Commissioners · August 11, 2026

Summary

Commissioners asked the Sheriff's Office for more information after staff reported a newly purchased drone is not insured and a 2027 utility trailer was not included on a prior resolution; follow-up was assigned to staff and Commissioner Winegardner.

County staff raised two insurance concerns related to the Sheriff's Office: a request to add a 2027 utility trailer to county insurance and a recently purchased drone that has not been added to insurance. "Said trailer had not been placed on resolution prior to resolution," staff noted, and staff also said the drone "has not been placed [on] insurance and Sofia Clifton is unsure if the pilot is licensed."

Commissioner Brian Winegardner and Sofia Clifton said they will contact the Sheriff's Office to confirm whether the trailer and the drone (and the van hauling the drone) have been properly approved and insured. No votes or formal approvals were recorded during the Aug. 11 session; commissioners directed staff to follow up and report back.
