Mayor Shaundel Washington-Spivey and Common Council members were invited to a Skydio Experience Day drone demonstration at the La Crosse Police Department on August 20, 2026. The notice shows the city is evaluating drone capabilities for police use, but no purchase or solicitation is recorded. It is a useful pre-RFP signal for public safety drone hardware, software, training, or services.
The Division proposed conforming Chapter One EMS rules to new Chapter Two changes that expand Community Paramedicine endorsements beyond paramedics. The rule would add EMT-CPE, EMT-I-CPE, AEMT-CPE, and P-CPE definitions and update initial and renewal certification language. No vendor is selected, but the change creates training, exam, and compliance work tied to EMS provider licensure. The rulemaking is linked to SB 25-192 and a Chapter Two hearing on August 24, 2026.
The board agenda includes approving a crisis intervention plan at the August 19, 2026 meeting. The item points to district safety planning, but the document does not describe a vendor, study, or implementation budget. It is still a buying signal for training, procedures, drills, or safety-related services if the plan leads to action.
