The Sheriff’s Office now seeks to enter into a new agreement for the upcoming fiscal year, covering the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Under the proposed terms, the HCSO will pay a total usage fee of $3,240 for up to 15 training sessions during the agreement term. Additionally, the agreement includes storage space at a rate of $20 per month. Any training sessions beyond the initial 15 sessions will incur an additional fee of $200 per class.
