Harbaugh seeks alternatives to deputies furloughs in Frederick County
Sheriff Carl Harbaugh urged the Frederick County Commissioners to approve savings without furloughing deputies. He proposed options such as limiting off duty patrol car use and voiding vacant positions, arguing the county must keep required detention center staffing and hospital guard coverage. Fire and rescue staff would be paid at a lower rate for 19.7 hours to avoid furloughs, saving about 715 dollars, with district funds supporting the fire district.
