[Vision2020] Property tax cut?

[Jennifer McFarland]

I guess I don't understand why anyone would think it acceptable to send one
officer to a violent crime in the county without back-up.  That is what you
are suggesting by deeming it acceptable to have one or two deputies on in
the county at any given time.  Troy, by the way, is the only other "city" in
Latah County with its own police.  Troy PD employs one part-time officer.

To a degree I can almost understand Latah County being patrolled by one/two

deputy(ies), as each incorporated city within the county must have there own

local law enforcement (pronounced "police").  

 

A condensed area like Moscow with 20,000 inhabitants, and two universities

within ten miles (with an additional 12,000 to 15,000 each), almost DEMANDS

that more than two officers be on duty at any given time.

 

I know that I would feel alot safer.

Are you remotely aware that oftentimes there are only 2 deputies on duty

in the entire COUNTY? And sometimes only one??
