Sheriff objects to teletype link in Butler County
Butler County commissioners approved a police teletype network linking areas, the first in southwestern Ohio outside Hamilton County. Sheriff James F. Hixon opposed the move arguing the jailer and night staff are overloaded and four more men are needed to staff the communications center. Capt. Stanley Werlein presented the request, noting night duties would increase with the new system. Deputy Ray Palmerton explained the tele typing adds duties, while Irene Lewis said the sender receiver unit may be placed in the courthouse basement with Civil Defense funding help.
