Law Enforcement Cooperation Agreements Discussed by Board

By John Nixon

06/06/2016

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Sheriff Don Pounds last Tuesday. Sheriff Pounds reported he had discussed the Sleuth records management system programming with Falls City, City Administrator Gary Jorn.

Jorn informed the Sheriff that for now, the County could not have access to share the Sleuth programming with the City.

Without the cooperation of the City to cost share the program, the County will need to expend approximately, an additional $12,000 to purchase the updated version of the sleuth programming as required by Jail Standards.

Sheriff Pounds went on to discuss with the Board possible consolidation of services he has been discussing with Nemaha County, Nebraska. Those services would include Nemaha County providing dispatching services for Richardson County, and Richardson County providing jail services for Nemaha County.

Nemaha County is currently developing plans to expand the Sheriff’s office. When that is going on, Richardson County would provide dispatching for Nemaha County and serve as the backup for the dispatching in the future.

The Board did approve change orders for the new Jail and Law Enforcement Center. $1,318 for bunks and an additional $9,379 for additional electrical security fence and gas heaters.

How petty!!!! Why not leave the dispatch center and 911 at the Falls City Police Dept and use the new jail for JAIL. Why have Nemaha County dispatch provide service when we can keep it in our own County. Sounds like a bunch of little kids fights to get their way. I one NOT in favor of moving dispatch center from FCPD. Wake up people and quit allowing extra money to be spent on all the extras that are not needed. FCPD just moved into a new building. What do you expect to happen to that their way. I one NOT in favor of moving dispatch center from FCPD. Wake up people and quit allowing extra money to be spent on all the extras that are not needed. FCPD just moved into a new building. What do you expect to happen to that bldg. except being extra costs to the County. Stand up and be heard to leave things simple Dispatch Center at FCPD and LEB for JAIL. I think this is all a bunch of bullshit that need to have city and county people put input into all this moving from one county to the next and another county to keep prisoners from other counties when RCSO is always so short staffed. Sounds like TROUBLE to me!!
