Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 128 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request a financial and management audit of the Department of Public Safety's (DPS) Sheriff Division.

DPS supported this measure.

Your Committee finds that the significant backlog of outstanding arrest warrants compromises the public's safety. The findings and recommendations of an audit of the Sheriff Division will help to address the problem and offer solutions.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 128 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
