THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Randolph County Commission acknowledged a $7,000 Forest Service grant for the Sheriff’s Office to conduct Forest Service patrols. Sheriff Elbon reported the award during the June 4, 2026 meeting, indicating new funded activity for deputies in forested areas.
This creates a defined budget for patrol operations that may require equipment, communications tools, fuel, overtime management, reporting systems, and training specific to federal land patrols. Vendors in public safety equipment, software, and training can position offerings that help the Sheriff’s Office maximize the grant and meet any federal reporting or operational requirements tied to the funding.
Scope likely includes deputy patrols on Forest Service lands within Randolph County; specific purchasing plans are not detailed but grant funds are now available.
