Wright County welcomes new attorney, advances body camera policy
The Wright County Board of Commissioners welcomed a new county attorney and moved forward with implementing body cameras for the Sheriff's Office during their April 1 meeting.
County Attorney Brian Loots introduced Reena Field as the newest addition to his civil division. Field, who has eight years of legal experience, previously worked as a public defender and most recently served as a prosecutor with the St. Cloud City Attorney's Office. She will primarily handle CHIPS cases for Wright County and began her duties this week.
The board held a required public hearing on the Sheriff's Office body camera policy, receiving no public comments either in person or in writing. Sheriff's Office staff indicated they would make minor edits to the policy based on feedback from the county attorney's office, including terminology clarifications and removing redundant paragraphs. The hearing fulfilled statutory requirements for the body camera implementation process.
Commissioners also approved a corrected resolution for a State Park road variance with Karina Township, adding the previously omitted words "vertical curve" to the document. The project has been delayed for two years while awaiting proper authorization.
Other business included declaring April 7-13 as Public Health Week in Wright County and approving a gambling permit for the Rockford Masonic Lodge through the consent agenda.
