The sheriff's department provided preliminary activity and budget updates covering July through Aug. 17. "Total's, 31 arrests, 11 referred to prosecution, 161 citations, a 117 complaints to investigate, and 1,428 calls for service," the department representative said, adding that bookings stood at about 121 as of the prior week and that one resignation will create an open sergeant position in September.
Law-enforcement staff said the jail is currently fully staffed for corrections work but that overtime pressure could rise when four officers attend mandated training later in the year. Committee members asked that future reports separate calls for service related to the Enbridge project so the county can better assess impacts and outcomes of those responses.
