OLD BUSINESS  
Member Chaplin commented on the Law Enforcement Recruitment and Retention Grant  
Program which was approved by the County Board in August of 2023. She asked for an update  
from the Sheriff's Office on how the grant funds were used and whether they helped with  
retention and recruitment. Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau responded that the Sheriff's Office was  
recently awarded that grant and they will be moving forward in the planning process to allocate  
the funds. In addition, Member Chaplin asked for clarification as to whether the grant will  
expire in 2024 and if so, will the Sheriff's Office ask for an extension. Deputy Chief Bilodeau  
responded that the timeframe to apply for the grant will close in 2024, but that they will have  
ample time to use the funds that were awarded to them.
