Sheriff announces new undersheriff pick and multi-county radio grant outreach
Summary
Sheriff John Walker announced a new undersheriff selection (Kelly) and said Montgomery County invited Elk County to join other counties to pursue a government radio grant; he also noted a deputy moved to part-time and a new deputy hire.
Sheriff John Walker told the Elk County commission on Sept. 30 that a deputy has shifted to part-time status and a new deputy was hired. He said Montgomery County contacted the sheriff's office about joining Montgomery and other counties in pursuing a government grant to acquire radios. Walker also said he has selected Deputy Kelly to serve as his new undersheriff and later the commission approved Kelly Young's promotion and wage increase.
Walker requested an executive session on non-elected personnel later in the meeting; that session occurred and the promotion was approved upon return. The transcript does not provide further details about the multi-county radio grant application, such as the grant program name, anticipated equipment, or timeline.
