Mesa县提出削减6.2%的治安官办公室, 危及18-28个副警长职位及公共安全。 Mesa County proposes 6.2% sheriff’s office cut, risking 18–28 deputy jobs and public safety.

据Todd Rowell警长说,Mesa县的2026年拟议预算中包括了对郡长办公室的削减6.2%,有可能取消18至28个副手职位,他警告说,削减可能会损害公共安全和社区服务。 Mesa County’s proposed 2026 budget includes a 6.2% cut to the Sheriff’s Office, potentially eliminating 18 to 28 deputy positions, according to Sheriff Todd Rowell, who warns the reduction could harm public safety and community services. Rowell认为,该州依靠公共安全销售税收入来补充而不是取代一般资金支助,从而造成执法资金不足。 Rowell argues the county is underfunding law enforcement by relying on Public Safety Sales Tax revenue meant to supplement, not replace, general fund support. 虽然Cody Davis专员说削减主要影响未填补的角色, 现任议员会保留职位, Rowell 维持拟议预算可能会损害选民在2017年设定的人员配置目标。 While Commissioner Cody Davis says the cuts mainly affect unfilled roles and current deputies would keep their jobs, Rowell maintains the proposed budget could undermine staffing goals set by voters in 2017. 最后的预算定于12月9日核准。 The final budget is set for approval on December 9.
