Sheriff urges comprehensive law enforcement plan in rural Mower County
Sheriff Carmen Halstenson urged a county wide plan using federal funds to improve rural police protection in Mower County Minnesota. The plan seeks 60 percent federal funding with local costs of up to 62079 per township depending on population and requires township votes March 10 to approve costs up to 6000 per year. Aimed at adding patrol districts and nine more patrolmen while preserving two existing cars the plan hinges on village and township participation and training coordination.
