L.E.A.D.S. Public hearing at 7pmCT, tonight at Adair Annex Public Hearing on L.E.A.D.S system for Adair County is tonight, Thu 30 July 2015, in the basement of the Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. The public is urged to attend Click on headline for complete item ColumbiaMagazine.com (c) story A reminder that an important public hearing is schedule tonight in the Adair Annex basement over a proposal before the Adair County Fiscal Court to enter a contract with providers of the L.E.A.D.S (Law Enforcement Automated Data System), introduced to the court by the Adair County Sheriff's Department. Some in law enforcement suggest that the system is necessary to easily track stolen property. An ordinance for the county would require pawn shops, recyclers and possibly gold and jewelry buyers - and, pawn owners suggest, maybe even yard sellers (???) to register all inventory with the program. The cost of the program does not seem to be clearly defined yet, either for agencies using L.E.A.D.S. or for the retailers. Rob Wilkerson, owner of Adair Pawn, says that the extra bookkeeping will cost his business at least $500 per month just to maintain the data base. Wilkerson maintains that with the good working relationship those dealing in resale of pawned or sold items have with law enforcement, the new system will only encumber honest retails, and, in the end, mean fewer recoveries of stolen property. Those in law enforcement who are for the program cited a case of a guitar stolen in the area being recovered after being in Texas and Oklahoma because of the L.E.A.D.S program. Wilkerson says that the program shifts costs and labor to retailers and wonders if lawmen can give a top figure for the cost to Adair County Fiscal Court. The public, especially those most affected by the program, are urged to attend the open meeting. Adair County Judge Executive Mike Stephens said that he is still open on the questions, and hopes that a sense of what the public wants will result from tonight's meeting.
