Board backs sheriff's JAG 'tough book' grant application
Summary
Dolores County commissioners voiced support for a Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) application to fund in‑vehicle 'tough book' computers for the sheriff's office and encouraged submitting a letter of support; staff also noted a separate $20,000 Rocky Mountain Healthy Neighbor Grant award for one‑time staff retention payments.
County staff asked the board to support a 2026 JAG application that would provide mobile computing equipment for patrol vehicles. The board signaled support and recommended attaching a letter of support to strengthen the application.
Staff also reported the county had been awarded $20,000 from the Rocky Mountain Healthy Neighbor Grant and asked permission to sign required paperwork; staff clarified the funds would be available for one‑time retention payments, not recurring salary increases. "We were awarded $20,000 from the Rocky Mountain Healthy Neighbor Grant," staff said during the meeting.
Commissioners agreed staff should draft a letter of support for the JAG application and coordinate with the sheriff's office on final submission details.
