Chief Convinced Seven Men Are Enough for City Enforcement
Police Chief Larry Sterling says seven officers can meet Sandpoint's enforcement needs after a month of work, reflecting a reallocation of manpower that yields similar services to the prior 12-man force. He notes officers work 12 to 14 hours, with no overtime and limited compensatory time. Mayor Les Brown praises the force's hard work and cities room for one more officer, while budgets are debated between 126000 and 112000 options.
