The City of Elkhart Board of Public Safety convened on May 26, 2026, to address several procurement and operational matters. Key procurement actions included approval of a $20,000 contract for exporting data from the outdated DIMS evidence software to a modern system, a $35,000 advertising agreement with WNDU to support police recruitment efforts, and a $44,000 renewal contract for Evolv Express equipment and software used for concealed weapons detection in the city building. Additionally, the board approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Secret Service to allow an Elkhart police officer to serve as a task force officer, along with an agreement for potential federal reimbursement of overtime costs. The meeting also covered administrative items such as union grievance scheduling, monthly reports from communications and building departments, and updates on the rental inspection program, which is actively addressing safety issues like carbon monoxide leaks and smoke detector compliance in rental properties. Motions related to these contracts and agreements were unanimously approved, with permissions granted for Captain Snyder to sign relevant documents.
