The Cass County Commission, Prosecuting Attorney Ben Butler, Sheriff Jeff Weber, and mayors from Belton, Harrisonville, Lake Winnebago, Peculiar, and Pleasant Hill will form the advisory board of the Cass County Crime Coalition.
The Coalition Advisory Board will work together to develop a comprehensive plan and coordinate activities related to the improvement of criminal justice administration among state, county and municipal agencies.
The program is funded by the Cass County Commission and the program is administered through the Cass County Sheriff's Office. The program provides funds for law enforcement and judicial resources. Those include salary reimbursement for additional law enforcement officers assigned to a task force and dedicated staffing to the prosecuting attorney's office.
“This is just the first step in our collaborative efforts to address matters of public safety in our communities. In the coming weeks will seek partnerships with the 11 remaining municipalities, seeking their contributions to the Cass County Crime Coalition.
