Clark County Board of Commissioners
|
Agenda note: DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, Commissioner Miller advised of instances where additional security for members of the Board would have been beneficial; suggested County resources be utilized instead of supplementing the building security resources; Park Police and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police (Metro) had also been contracted to assist; Washoe County, a smaller County in terms of population, had a designated position for a Chief Security Officer who reported to the County Manager, suggested that staff look at those types of options then bring before the Board a proposal to hire a Chief Security Officer; and that position could facilitate communications and coordinate resources between other law enforcement agencies.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Kirkpatrick regarding building coverage and that the County had over 200 buildings, Commissioner Miller advised that staff could present recommendations for coverage; advised that in other jurisdictions, the Chief Security Officer oversaw security for the entire jurisdiction.
Commissioner Kirkpatrick praised the current security team for their amazing work and clarified that staff should be directed to present recommendations or other ideas to the Board at a later date. | |
