Rent-A-Co- p Plan Ready Policemen for sale or rent just the thing for a city of means by no means That was the tune crooned Wednesday by the Salt Lake Cpunty Sheriffs department in announcing a new plan to provide police services to smaller incorporated areas on . a contract basis According to Chief Deputy George Q. Nielsen, Jr., the plan promises superior police protection at a saving for taxpayers We've worked out an arrangement whereby Salt LakeCounty can offer al 1 or any part of our law enforcement services at a greater savings to incorporated areaV he said. In addition to economy, Nielsen said, the plan provides continuity of protection through the county into partcipating forces with the advantages areas and provides of a larger deparment He said that if necessary, the sheriffs department could absorb local officers into its program Were ready now to offer the contract services, he said The program could range all the way from complete police protection to specialned details such as identification and criminal lab work, records mair'enance, detective details and juvenile enforcement as well as any other phase of service et desired sheriffs department already provides radio dispatch sercie for Murray, Midvale, South Salt Lake and The county Sandy along with providing daily bulletins on stolen autos, missing persons Depending on who is telling the story, the reorganisation of the Salt Lake County Sheriffs Department is barely staggering along, teetering on failure . or the modernisation of the law enforcement branch is the one bright spot in county government. Opinion varies according to the inter -- and -- intra political affiliation of the commentator, his special hates and favorite interests as well as which particular axe that individual happens to be grinding at the moment One thing is certain, if Salt Lake taxpayers are anxious, they have reasonable cause The view is murky. Rarely has an improvement project been launched in as turbulent an atmosphere Sheriff George W. Beck-stea- d s decision to overhaul his department came at a period of violent upheaval in county government and was timed just as certain situations within his organization were coming to a head Pretteure, Ctuuw And since the move tomod-ernix- e, outside pressures as well as inner turmoil have continued to wear away at efforts of county lawmen. According to published reports the sheriffs department appears to be resisting consolidation with city police in certain functions At the same time, there sbeen plenty of evidence of dissen-tio- n among a small segment of the ranks And after all, has anyone noticed more cars patroling or even a county roads faster response when deputies are summond Furthermore, to many the whole business of enforcing the law Is Somehow suspect anyway. STORY is THE REAL not black or white depending on the area under Inspection, it is a predictable variety of shades of gray. This week the Review took a look at the Sheriffs Deparatment reorganization the hontempting to shake-o- ut est criticism from the senseless carping and, if it was there, point up the real accomplishment. Sheriff Beckstead has not been successful in completely quelling dissention among one faction within the force On the other hand, a shake-u- p is lots of people never easy just hate change and there are others who might see benefit in a crumbling department. Allegations of one sort or another, as a result, have been widely whispered True or false? Sheriffs deputies have always received initial training when they joined the force but now it is mandatory for all officers to attend two monthly three -- hour training sessions covering all basic police procedure and law. Officers are tested at regular Intervals on the material and the same Information is covered each year in scheduled refresher money-s- aving Two Month (ain IN THE LITTLE more than two months since the Salt Lake courses flood news.
