Three Forks Rodeo CEASE Award report: Aaron reported that they couldn’t find enough officers to cover as many shifts as they had hoped, but that there were 3 DUI arrests and 3 MIP’s with 1 drug possession. He stated that we need more MIP patrols but this is an issue that must be approved by the County Attorney’s office.
Bob Larson reported on the Muvee Mini-Camera CEASE Award. Most departments have decided to purchase cameras for use by patrols. The cameras that were loaned to various departments will stay with those departments, though MSU also has the camera first loaned to NPS.
Changes to the budget still pending.
The meeting adjourned at 7: 10 PM.
