RE: 2009-F2724-TX-SB (City of Beaumont) Non-patrol vehicle request waiver (09 JAG Recovery Beaumont)

Dear Mrs. Womack:

DEPUTY CHIEFS Walter Billingsley - Services

Ron Hobbs - Narcotics

The Jefferson County Sheriffs Department requests approval of a waiver to purchase a non-patrol vehicle [rom allocated funding in the above styled grant. The Jefferson County Sheriffs Department operates the only corrections facility in Jefferson County and thereby houses all prisoners arrested by local and state jurisdictions within the county. The facility houses an average of about 1000 inmates daily most of which are awaiting court hearings. The facility is located approximately 8-10 miles from the courthouse downtown where court proceedings are held. Corrections Officers daily transfer about 100 inmates downtown to a holding facility adjacent to the courts for appearances at hearings. Afterwards they are returned to the Corrections Facility. We currently make these transfers by means of 15 person capacity passenger vans.

The prison bus being requested has a capacity of 38 and is appropriately equipped for the safe transfer of inmates. It is equipped with special seating, restraints, wire mesh partitions with sliding doors and locks, and many other features for the safety of the transporting officers, inmates, as well as the public. The bus will be clearly marked and lighted as a Jefferson County Sheriffs prisoner transport vehicle. It would provide the ability to safely transfer more inmates at a time to court thereby reducing the risk of escape, number of trips required, and exposure to the public.

- 24540 -

The bus would additionally be used when an evacuation of the Corrections Facility is required. All inmates from the facility had to be evacuated to another facility farther inland both for Hurricane Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008. During both evacuations borrowed school buses were used. The ability to have a properly equipped bus would lesson risk when this procedure is caned for.

The acquisition of a properly equipped prisoner transport bus would greatly reduce the risk to inmates, corrections officers, and the public during these required operations. The bus would be used on a daily basis and would greatly enhance public safety in our community. No other funding for this purchase has becn available in the past nor expected in the near future. We would appreciate your favorable consideration of this waiver.

Sincerely,

G. Mitch Woods Sheriff
