Law enforcement city/county consolidation

Recommended Posts

In the wake of former police chief Tandy Carter's firing for refusing to turn the investigation of the accident involving mayor-elect Steve Benjamin over to the state highway patrol, there has been serious discussion about having Richland County sheriff Leon Lott oversee both departments. Lott rejects the term "consolidation," instead describing an agreement that would have him manage both departments. That's similar to the way fire service works in Richland County: The county contracts with the city.

It's interesting how Sheriff Lott had the foresight to call in a another agency when his secretary's daughter was in a fender bender, but former Chief Carter didn't get the "appearances" concept regarding the mayor elect's situation.
