SOUTH BEND The Sheriffs Office gained ground Tuesday when the Pacific County Commissioners approved the hiring of a deputy and the purchase of an apprehension dog.
We lost a deputy last year to retirement, and this is putting the number of deputies back to the number we had before that retirement, Chairwoman Lisa Ayers (Dist. 3) said. Weve had additional calls, more than weve had in the past. Our deputies are stretched. We waited until the state budget was approved so we could make sure we didnt lose a lot of state funding so that we could cover the cost of this deputy.
