Sheriff's-office representative tells Plains City council about range access, SRT reorganization and new hires
Summary
A sheriff's-office representative told the council a written agreement now waives a $50 range fee for in-county law enforcement, described a special response team reorganization with an outside lead accepted, and said three deputies have been recommended to fill open positions.
A representative from the sheriff's office updated Plains City council on training and staffing matters and a formalized range-access arrangement. He said the long-standing, informal practice allowing in‑county law enforcement to use a county range has been put in writing and that he is "waving that fee for any of the in county local law enforcement." The move is intended to avoid charging local agencies the $50 per-use fee.
The representative described a restructuring of the special response team (SRT), saying an outside agency member has accepted the team lead role while a captain from the sheriff's office will oversee operations. He also reported three deputy recommendations to fill open positions and noted one candidate is returning to the office after agreeing to a roughly $20,000 pay cut. The update was delivered as an informational report; no council action was requested.
