Stephenson County will be asking our officers to help cover this area of the county when they are busy in another area since the number of deputies have decreased.
Our officers will monitor times when they are asked to help the county. The officers will stay in this area. Fred did note that any time they are asked to help the liability is on the County and not the Village.
It was requested that President Knoup look at an agreement with the county regarding our officers covering an area of the county while they are unavailable.
