Report Calls Expanded Role for Vermont State Police
A 50 page study by Touche Ross for a Vermont legislature committee recommends eliminating county sheriffs and expanding state police services to avoid duplicating municipal departments. Funding for the study came from a $60,000 federal grant. Lawmakers are unlikely to end the sheriff system, the report notes. It also suggests banning state funds for small local departments and redirecting savings to bolster the state force.
