The Fayette County Commission approved starting the paperwork to transfer a retired sheriff’s vehicle to the county Board of Education for use in a new first‑responder vocational program.

The sheriff told commissioners the county has several retired vehicles unsuited for active patrol and proposed donating one as a hands‑on training vehicle for a speech‑and‑practical curriculum that covers traffic stops and vehicle‑based exercises. The sheriff said radios and other essential equipment would be retained by the county; decals would be removed and the Board of Education would handle registration and insurance. The instructor will operate the vehicle for training on campus and maintenance support was discussed with the county’s vocational/technical programs.

Commissioners approved starting the transfer paperwork by voice vote; staff will coordinate registration and any required inter‑governmental transfer documents.

Ending: County staff will work with the Board of Education and the sheriff’s office to complete the transfer and ensure the vehicle is restricted to campus use as intended.
