The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office’s new dispatch equipment is nearly ready. Sheriff Jeff Richwine told the county commissioners last week that the grant funding has been approved, and the CallWorks dispatch system has been put in. “We just waiting for them to come do the training,” he explained, “so with that grant, we’ll be able to get, I think, the dispatch center good for a long time.”
Richwine reported that the county has had over 1,000 police calls since the start of the year. “That would be all the law enforcement county in the county. That’s Francesville PD, Winamac PD, and Medaryville PD,” Richwine said. “Out of all of those calls, the deputies handled 726 of those, so they’re still holding true to doing about 75 percent of the law enforcement work in this county.”
Meanwhile, the commissioners gave the Sheriff’s Office permission to sell five surplus silencers to Jasper County and properly qualified private individuals.
