Committee Meeting | PSJ - October 7, 2026

The Wayne County Commission’s Public Safety, Judiciary and Homeland Security Committee met on October 7, 2026. The committee approved the September 23 meeting minutes and approved Amendment Two to a subboard agreement; the transcript does not provide the amendment’s amount or other details. Members also considered a Sheriff’s Office request for a comparable-source professional services contract with 984 LLC for strategic communications and media services, for about one year with a one-year renewal option and a not-to-exceed amount of $180,000. A Sheriff’s Office representative said the current budget allocation is roughly $150,000 and could be short by about $24,000, with a budget adjustment possible if additional funding is needed. The transcript does not clearly capture a final vote on this contract request.

The committee discussed the 2025 JAG grant, which was not on the meeting agenda and is expected to require immediate consideration by the full Commission the following week to avoid losing the funding. The grant totals approximately $1.4 million: the Sheriff’s Office would administer roughly $200,000, while about $980,000 would go to the City of Detroit. The Department of Justice had granted an extension. No other procurement actions were identified.
