No Need to Increase State Police Force
A bill before the State Legislature would hire 500 more state policemen, costing substantial sums for salaries, cars, gasoline, and equipment. Critics argue the taxpaying public should oppose the measure, asserting current Sheriff, deputies, and patrols in Clark County suffice. The proposed solution to crime, they say, lies in courtroom sentencing rather than expanding patrols.
