RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Bay Alarm Company, including modified indemnification language, to pay the County $26,000 the first year and $27,000 the second year for sponsorship funding designated to provide scholarships, classes, and recruitment for the Law Enforcement Training Center for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022, with the Sheriff’s Charities, Inc., serving as the fiscal agent.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$53,000 in revenue over two years; Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

Bay Alarm provides scholarship funding in an effort to promote the education and training of local law enforcement recruits and officers. Additionally, Bay Alarm provides funding for advertisement along with event and media support for the recruitment of law enforcement officers. Board approval is requested due to changes in the County’s standard form contract indemnification language. The indemnification clause holds the County responsible for all legal costs incurred in the defense of a claim should the County choose to hire counsel separate from the indemnifying party.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this contract will negatively impact law enforcement efforts in the County. Bay Alarm sponsorship assist in advertising for recruits, promotes awareness of the local availability of courses and services, allows for the continued curriculum that would otherwise be eliminated, and provides scholarships to qualified candidates.
