The Luce County’s Sheriff’s Department staff is stretched thin.
The department has only three full–time officers and one part–time officer. This number is a fraction of the FBI’s recommended 22 officers for a county Luce’s size.
“We’re short,” says Undersheriff Eric Gravelle. “We never have more than one deputy working the road at any time. We’ve had a couple of incidents where I’ve got guys rolling around in the ditch, and there’s no back-up anywhere.”
He said without proper funding, it’s unlikely the county will be able to expand their staff.
