APPROVAL OF MINUTES

 

THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 2005 WERE APPROVED ON A MOTION AS WRITTEN BY COMMISSIONER DAVIS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER HANSEN AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.

 

AGENDA: ATTACHMENT NO. 1

OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL – SHERIFF JENSEN

 

Sheriff Jensen asked for permission to send Troy Pilivi to Clandestine Laboratory Investigations training March 7-18 in Rancho Cordova, California. Sheriff Jensen said the eight-day intensive course is designed to provide a student with the information and direction needed to safely enter a clandestine laboratory or other hazardous environment and effectively process the scene for successful investigation and prosecution of the laboratory. 

 

Dave Murphy, Detective Sergeant, said the federal government would reimburse the course.  He said the Drug Enforcement Agency is pulling back from doing the entries into the labs, and it is falling more and more on the individuals.  The guys must have training in order to enter the site safely and get no exposure to the surrounding chemicals. He said they also would receive a self-contained breathing apparatus and suit.

 

MOTION:  A motion was made by Commissioner Davis to allow out-of-state training for Troy Pilivi to attend the Clandestine Laboratory Investigations Training March 7-18 in Rancho Cordova, California.  The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hansen and unanimously carried.
