CHADRON, Neb. (AP) – Dawes County commissioners have approved a contract to provide police coverage to the town of Crawford. The commissioners had approved the concept already. The contract goes to the Crawford City Council, which is expected to vote on it on Tuesday. Dawes County Sheriff Karl Dailey and some Crawford residents had submitted the original proposal to the commission. The four-year agreement will cost the city a base price of nearly $228,000 a year. It can be renewed by mutual agreement or terminated by either side with six months’ notice. Under the contract, three deputies would be stationed in Crawford. The city would be their main duty, but they would be available to answer calls elsewhere in the Panhandle county.
