In a message to major army commands, and personnel activities, the Armys Deputy Chief of Staff for Per- sonnel (DCSPER) cited an unprecedented growth in the E4 population during the first six months of this fiscal year (FY) as contributing to the need for the freeze. According to DCSPER officials, E4 strength increased by 17,202 between Oct. 1, 1981 and March 31, 1982 (from 175,794 to 192.996). and now is over the budgeted end strength of quires the army to hold the line on further promotions to that grade.

(ARNEWS) Local deputy becomes Tooele Sheriff by SP5 David Pinnick At one minute after midnight May 1st, Douglas Broadway became the new sheriff of Tooele County. Broadway, who had been a deputy for Tooele County and stationed at Dugway, was officially appointed by Tooele County Commissioners to replace Walt Shuliert who resigned from the position to accept a job with Getty Oil. Broadway was first stationed at Dugway in 1976, the first civilian law official to reside here. Living with him on Dugway is his wife Cindy and their daughter Maggie. Prior to becoming sheriff, Doug was responsime for patrols throughout the county, as well as dealing with civilian criminal offenses in Skull Valley and Dugway. His main reason in being stationed at Dugway was for the purpose of controlling the civilians residing on post. This was because the military police had no real jurisdiction over civilians. Though the recently instituted magistrate system gave the military police control over civilians in traffic offenses as well as most class B misdemeanors, a civilian law enforcer was needed to handle any class A offenses and felonies such as aggravated assault, rape or murder. (Contrary to what some people think, the relationship between the civilian and military law officers is a very cooperative one, according to Broadway. I work closely with MPI folk such as Gene Phillips in handling cases on Dugway, and in fact our office works well with local town law enforcement agencies as well as the State Highway Patrol, Broadway explained. We have a good rapport with the other agencies, and avoid inter-agenc-y rivalries or jurisdictional quarrels. We concentrate on getting the job done, he explained. Weve worked closely in liaison with the military police and security personnel on such projects as the Weteye move, and weve always gotten terrific support from them and the various post commanders,' for as long as Ive been here, he said. Theyve been really great, and have provided us material as well as manpower assistance on many occasions. In addition to his other former duties as a deputy, Doug is also an Indian agent, certified by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) so that he has jurisdiction over the 20 or so Indians on the Skull Valley Indian vehicles stationed tenance of around 20 around the county. The department has about 14 various patrol vehicles assigned to its staff, which are part of the Sheriff s Department budget. Doug is also involved in the Sheriffs Patrol, a search and rescue team of about 20 volunteers who are deputies with limited powers to assist in rescues, manhunts, etc. fire-fighti-ng Reservation.

The Sheriff s department maintains a facility in Tooele and in Wendover. The Wendover facility shares jail space with the Highway Patrol under their cooperative working agreement, and keeps one deputy on duty there. Dougs office employs 26 people, including 14 deputies, five correctional officers, three cooks, three clerks and himself.

As to the possibility of someday running for sheriff a few yean down the road, he said, Well, if the commissioners hadnt thought I could handle the job I wouldnt have got it. But for right now, I want to concentrate on the job, and get some practical exin it.
