Sheriff Kramer shares plans with Rotary |
|
January 30, 2017 |
On Tuesday, January 24, newly elected Boundary
County Sheriff Dave Kramer visited the Bonners
Ferry Rotary to discuss the direction the
Sheriff's Office will go under his supervision.
First and foremost, Sheriff Kramer said he would
like to see the relationship between deputies
and the community improve, as well as provide
better education and direction for the current
deputies. The Sheriff's Office plans to work
better with the local tribe, the schools and the
community. Sheriff Kramer said he also hopes to
establish a Level I Reserve Unit, where
volunteers in the community are trained and
sworn in to assist officers when needed.
Sheriff Kramer was sworn into office January 9
by county commissioners, and since then he has
worked to develop a volunteer support unit and a
"Cold Case Investigation Team" comprised of
several volunteer retired law enforcement
agents.
He is also working on establishing a Crime
Prevention Program to teach citizens of Boundary
County how to protect themselves against crime.
And for Sheriff Kramer, communication is key. He
is working to implement better release of
information during an emergencies so that
misinformation is kept to a minimum.
Another thing Sheriff Kramer is maintaining is
collaborative relationships among organizations
who can be mutually beneficial to the needs of
this community, which will save money for much
needed supplies and replacements, i.e. new
mattresses in the jail. Other beneficial
collaborations include collaborations between
border patrol, Tribal police, the U.S. Forest
Service, Search and Rescue, and other groups so
that all resources can be utilized effectively
in the event of an emergency.
Members extend their thanks to Sheriff Kramer
for taking the time to come talk to the Rotary
about his plans for law enforcement in our
community!
