Traverse County sheriff reports lower jail occupancy and ongoing cybersecurity assessment

Sheriff Trevor Wright told Traverse County commissioners at their Oct. 4 meeting that the county jail's September occupancy rate was 67.69 percent and said the rate may decline in October because of staff shortages. Wright said his office is participating in a state cybersecurity assessment; a consultant will be on site for three days to observe and oversee procedural operations. He added that he will meet soon with the City of Browns Valley to discuss a sheriff-contract arrangement.
