- The new field office will provide a workspace for sheriff’s deputies assigned to the west side of the county. Sheriff Dave Wedding explained, “The field office will provide our deputies with a place to meet with the public, conduct interviews, transmit reports and obtain supplies.†Sheriff Wedding added, “The presence of a field office at Burdette Park will be a real time and fuel saver for a deputy who needs to re-supply equipment or access a full size computer and printer.â€
The new field office will not be staffed continuously, but will result in an increased Sheriff’s Office presence at Burdette Park. Of particular benefit will be an increase in security after hours, when Burdette Park’s regular staff is not present.
Sheriff Wedding stated, “This project began under Sheriff Eric Williams’ administration and it has now come to fruition. Our office will continue to explore other viable options to expand our services and keep our community safe.â€
