FLEET WATCH PROGRAM <br />Acting Administrator Collins reviewed the following: <br />TO: Board of County DATE: August 26, 1988 FILE: <br />Commissioners <br />SUBJECT: FLEET WATCH PROGRAM <br />FROM: William G. collies II REFERENCES: <br />• Acting County Administrator <br />On August 24, 1988 1 met with Jack Fitzgerald and Kathy Siebert, the Fleet <br />Watch coordinators for Sheriff Tim Dobeck, and James Davis, Doug Wright <br />and Susan Tillman of our County staff. The purpose of the meeting was to <br />discuss the feasibility of having suspicious and/or criminal events observed <br />by County personnel while out on the road in County cars equipped with <br />radios to report over their radio into the Sheriff's 911 system. <br />The concept is similar to a neighborhood crime watch or a business watch—,---- <br />i.e., <br />atchi.e., to enhance crime protection capability by providing extra eyes and ears <br />for the Sheriff. <br />Since this program is entirely voluntary and would impose no additional cost <br />to the County, while at the same time having considerable potential in crime <br />prevention, I would recommend that the County authorize the Sheriff's Fleet <br />Watch team to meet with dispatchers and drivers of County cars equipped <br />with radios for a briefing on participation in the Fleet Watch Program. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis- <br />sioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized <br />the Sheriff's Fleet Watch team to meet with dispatchers <br />and drivers of County cars equipped with radios for <br />a briefing on participation in the Fleet Watch Program. <br />ADMINISTRATOR SEARCH - AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT <br />Acting Administrator Collins reviewed his memo: <br />SEP ���� <br />79 ROOK 74 FACE 79 <br />� <br />
