Deputy Sam: undersheriff staying in Amity while county backfills deputies

Oct 10, 2024

The Yamamoto County Sheriff's Office told the Amity City Council it is short-staffed after recent shift changes; the undersheriff will temporarily work day shift in Amity while the county recruits, and staff said they will provide updates and try to track school-related calls.

The full story

The Yamamoto County Sheriff's Office provided a staffing update during citizen comments at the Oct. 2 Amity City Council meeting. Deputy Sam told the council that Deputy Tomorrow left in late September and the undersheriff Val has taken a day shift. "We've been very short across the board at the office," Deputy Sam said, and the undersheriff will remain in the Amity area until county positions are backfilled, which could take "a month or two."
