We might be moving in the right direction!!
In this weeks newspaper the following was mentioned by county officials:
Block suggested that a county-wide police department would take politics out of the sheriff’s office and would insure that a professional ran the force.
The sheriff’s office could still have control over civil matters, he said. Jones added that would mean that the sheriff’s office would still exist but with different duties.
If the county adopts this new idea, plus adds two more commissioners to the office, I suspect they will begin to regain some needed creditability.
Second, they need need to establish a civilian panel to interview and hire county employees. This will take the politics out of the game. The best and most qualified people will be hired; to include the next county sheriff.
