Summary of Request

The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office has partnered with Humboldt, Siskiyou, Lake, and Trinity counties to establish the Northern California Coalition to Safeguard Communities (NCCSC). The Center to Combat Human Trafficking recognizes that law enforcement agencies in Northern California do not have adequate financial resources to independently address criminal activity by drug trafficking organizations. The Center to Combat Human Trafficking, through the NorCal Coalition, has provided support to provide the financial and technical assistance needed to continue to support these agencies.

 

The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office was awarded $170,631 on August 1, 2024. The funds are being used to provide staff to help combat human trafficking, provide related training and materials, and laptop technology. Initially, the Sheriff’s Office believed these funds would be classified as a donation. Since the NCCSC’s Coordinator position was unfilled for a portion of the year, the award letter was not received until later in the year. For this reason, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting retroactive approval of the award.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Return to staff for alternate handling.
