10.27.26 Public Safety Committee Meeting

The Monroe County Legislature’s Public Safety Committee met on October 27, 2026, and approved several grant and contracting items. The committee accepted grants for highway safety, Drug Recognition Experts instructor training, Homeland Security Investigations, and the County Re-entry Task Force. For the re-entry grant, the committee authorized a contract with Delphi Drug and Alcohol Council, Inc.; staff said four organizations responded to the RFP and Delphi was the clear winner after a selection committee scored the proposals. The committee also approved continued hosting and maintenance of the District Attorney’s public-facing Commons data platform, which lets users track monthly case-flow data, and a contract with But Wait, There’s More LLC for security and crowd-control assistance at a festival. No dollar amounts were stated.

Members discussed reduced funding for the Highway Safety Program and the temporary federal discontinuation and subsequent reinstatement of the Explosive Detection K9 Team Program. They also discussed a contract arrangement for a deputy to provide targeted traffic enforcement and address quality-of-life issues in Henrietta; the Sheriff’s Office said other municipalities could pursue a similar arrangement through their town boards and a contract with the county. The committee’s recorded votes on the items shown passed. An intermunicipal agreement item for county forensic laboratory services was listed at the end, but the transcript does not capture its discussion or disposition.
