Consider and take appropriate action on acceptance of all Fiscal Year 2027 donations related to the use of County vehicles by off-duty Travis County Sheriff's Office peace officers for other employment that serves as a public purpose. (Commissioner Morales)

Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

In September 2007, Commissioner’s Court approved a form agreement that allows the Sheriff and Constable Office(s) to accept donations for the use of County vehicles utilized by off-duty peace officers that serve a public purpose, such as conserving the peace, controlling traffic on public roads, and ensuring the public safety. Additionally, we have included Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0480 which allows the use of County patrol vehicles during off-duty employment. An annual approval to accept the donations is requested as part of each fiscal year's budget process.
