The Board of Benton County Commissioners accepted 33,589 dollars from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority on July 19, 2022 to pay for 10 Flock Falcon automated license plate readers and 50 Rat Trap II devices, booked to the Sheriff Investigation Fund. Commissioner Delvin moved to accept the grant and Commissioner McKay seconded, and the motion carried. On October 3, 2023 the same board approved a grant application to the Washington State Department of Commerce for Law Enforcement Pursuit Technology, which the minutes tie to a 30,000 dollar annual subscription for those 10 Flock Falcon readers that had been left unfunded. Commissioner Delvin moved that second item and Commissioner Alvarez seconded. Neither set of minutes lists how each commissioner voted, so no roll call is recorded here.
