Finney County reports crime drop but jail bookings rise in 2010
Sheriff Scott Bascue notes a smaller staff in 2010 with three fewer deputies since 2009 and a street gang unit fully out of service. Investigators and patrols absorbed gang duties as crime declined, yet jail bookings rose by about 28 inmates. Transfer inmates and budget cuts froze two jail deputy and one evidence technician positions.
