The council also will consider Police Chief Brad Rasmussen’s request to adopt a resolution formally authorizing the receipt by the Lakeport Police Department of cannabis grant funding from the California Highway Patrol.
Capt. Dale Stoebe’s report to the council explains that the Lakeport Police Department applied to the California Highway Patrol for funding from its Cannabis Tax Fund Program to conduct enforcement and training to reduce and mitigate the impacts of impaired driving in our
community. As a result, they were granted $75,159.87 to implement work on driving under the influence detection and enforcement activities — specifically, five saturation patrols — and coursework for officers on drug evaluation and classification.
