Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Steve Crawford, Chief of Police
Andrea Surratt, City Manager
SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement with Rocky Mountain Security
Service for Municipal Court Security
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
BACKGROUND:
To address security concerns in the Bozeman Municipal Court, a security company contractor
was sought to have a uniformed security officer present in the courtroom.
The primary duties required of the security officer will be to provide a visual uniformed presence
in both courtrooms and the Municipal Court front counter area. The security officer will also
intervene in any substantial, life-threatening circumstances. The security officer will also
provide security for defendants remanded to the custody of the detention center until a Bozeman
Police Officer can respond to take them to the detention center.
Upon request for quotes from interested contractors, Rocky Mountain Security Services clearly
met these requirements. This contractor has a history of reliable cooperative interactions with the
Bozeman Police Department. This contractor also provided a proposal that was low and complete
with regards to the parameters of the contractor duties.
This contract is to cover a period of time until the Bozeman Police Department finalizes and hires
two part-time police officer positions whose primary duties will be Municipal Court security and
lobby-related calls that will address these concerns for the long term.
FISCAL EFFECTS: This contract is expected to have a fiscal impact of up to approximately
$7,600, with costs expected to be shared by Police, Legal and Municipal Court and is within
budget.
