May 5, 2026 Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee

The Ulster County Legislature's Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee met on May 5, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related resolutions. Key items included approval of contracts with Axon Enterprise Inc. totaling nearly $3 million for law enforcement technology, including a five-year AI contract to improve reporting and data consolidation. Committee members debated the merits and ethical considerations of Axon's products but ultimately approved the contracts. Additionally, the committee approved a grant-funded project for constructing a public safety radio tower to enhance emergency communications. The meeting also covered support for state legislation providing disability coverage for county probation officers. No new procurement actions were initiated, but ongoing projects and future community engagement efforts were noted.
