McDowell County braces for deputy shortfall by Dec 31
McDowell County faces risk as six deputy sheriff positions may be cut by year end. The county commission meets today at 4 p.m. in Welch to seek a solution, after a 240000 dollar sheriff budget cut. If layoffs occur, patrols could end after Dec 31, elevating state police duties for 911 calls. Public safety leaders stress staffing is essential to respond to 911 and court needs.
