Summary
Sheriff Troy Goodnough described cooperation with Carleton police when local officers are unavailable; Chief Roy Johnson praised the relationship and reported a part-time officer is on medical leave while the clerk said a full-time officer is also out for an undetermined period.
Sheriff Troy Goodnough told the council that the county sheriff's office has worked with the Carleton Police Department when local officers were unavailable or needed assistance. The sheriff said he provided counts of calls handled between 2021 and 2024 to illustrate the level of support (specific call numbers were not provided in the minutes).
Chief Roy Johnson told the council the relationship between CPD and the sheriff's office is strong. Clerk Lenora Buckingham also informed the council that one full-time police officer and one part-time officer are both on medical leave for undetermined periods; Chief Johnson reiterated the part-time officer's medical leave during public comments.
The council did not take formal personnel action at the meeting; staffing updates were logged so the village can manage coverage and mutual-aid arrangements.
