Sheriff seeks $1.1 million budget hike for deputies and staff
Frederick County Sheriff James Hagg asked Commissioners to add about 1.1 million to his FY2000 budget to fund two administrative specialists, two information specialists, a grants coordinator, a public information officer, a computer systems analyst, and six cadet positions. He cites rising calls for service as population nears 200,000 and aims to shorten response times from 11 to 8 minutes. He also seeks funds for an education program with Frederick Community College and expansion of the COPS program.
