20. ONE-TIME ADDITION TO FLEET OF THREE REDLINED VEHICLES FOR SHERIFF'S DETENTION SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM Approve three one-time additions to fleet of redlined patrol vehicles that can be equipped with cages and are suitable for use by the Sheriff’s Office Detention Special Response Team (SRT). The aggregate annual operating expense estimate for all three vehicles is $4,500 and will be paid from the Detention Fund (255). The current County assigned vehicle numbers are: 1) Vehicle #321111, 2) Vehicle #11614, an unmarked 2006 Ford Crown Vic and 3) Vehicle #31344, an unmarked 2003 Ford Expedition. These vehicles will be retired at the end of their useful life with no funding from the General Fund for replacement. The Sheriff’s Office Special Response Team is responsible for transporting high risk inmates (combative, death row, high profile and security threat groups) between different jail facilities, outside medical facilities and to the Department of Corrections. Specialized vehicles that are equipped with cages are necessary for the safety of the officers and inmates. (C-50-16-048-M-00)
