County Inks Memorandum of Agreement for Headwaters Rest Area Use

Broadwater County Commissioners signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on July 3 that would allow Broadwater County Sheriff’s officers to utilize office space at the recently opened Headwaters Rest Area north of the junction of I-90 and US Highway 287.
Broadwater County Sheriff Nick Rauser told the commission that the space will be shared with state highway patrol officers as well as the state’s motor carrier services division – the unit that oversees truck weights and safety.
There are no set hours for county deputies, and the office will not be staffed 24-7, Rauser said. However, deputies will be able to use the space to interview witnesses and work on paperwork without having to do so in their patrol vehicles.
The county will not be placing equipment at the site. Deputies will utilize their county-issued laptops to connect securely to the county and state systems.
