No deputies on the road is disgraceful. <br /><br />Actually, according to the Michigan Sheriff’s Association, a goal is to preserve and maintain the “Sheriff as the chief elected law enforcement officer in the county. “ Do you really expect small, rural townships to provide their own police force, especially with constant cuts to revenue sharing?Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504187500060651710.post-25710904764011976142011-01-08T12:10:10.761-05:002011-01-08T12:10:10.761-05:00I believe you're mistaken.

By state constitution, the county is to provide a lockup, or jail. If the townships and cities want to provide their own police protection, they are able to.
