Since measure Z there has been more promotions than new hired deputies. No wonder there are no deputies on the streets in So Hum. Get more of them out of the office in Eureka and more on the streets, so we don’t keep hearing “there is no deputy available right now”.

Garberville Sheriff sub-station has lock up cells, I believe 6 cells, Why are they never used ? Most of the local Sheriffs will not arrest a person doing a minor crime because they do not want to transport them to Eureka. So lets open up the G-ville cell block and house the minor criminals and everybody is happy.
