Hays County will apply for a grant to purchase a citizen reporting system to minimize in-person encounters between law enforcement and citizens to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The Hays County Commissioners Court voted Tuesday to apply for $37,094 that has been allotted under the Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program. The county will supplement the funding at $23,506 for the cost of the $60,000 program.
An online reporting system will allow residents to submit non-emergency incidents to limit person-to-person contact for the near future. The system will be integrated with the county’s existing records management software.
