# 11/12/26 Law Enforcement Committee

The Coffee County, Tennessee Law Enforcement Committee met on November 12, 2026. Members approved the agenda and prior meeting minutes, elected D. Ford as chair and Roger Chambers as vice chair, and received reports from the sheriff and probation department. The sheriff reported the jail averaged about 350 people and said a capital-outlay issue involving an alarm system appeared to be on track, with funding and maintenance being addressed. He also said the department’s motorcycles were in use for speed enforcement and community projects. No contract award, bid approval, or new purchasing action was reported.

The probation department reported an average of 677 active clients during August–October and described its use of outside treatment providers, primarily Centerstone, as well as other providers; no new vendor selection or contract action was discussed. The department also said probation fees had increased from $40 to $50 after consultation with county and court representatives—the first increase in 19 years—with collections returning to county funds. The meeting ended with a tentative next meeting date of February 11, 2027. No procurement-related motion or spending approval was identified.
