The union representing Reno County Sheriff deputies fired off a salvo this week in an ongoing dispute between the local law enforcement agencies over the control of a firearms training range.
Members of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #18 issued a public letter to the media late Wednesday accusing the Hutchinson Police Department administration of attempting to take control of the range that deputies at the sheriff’s office have built up and maintained over more than 3 ½ decades.
However, Hutchinson Police Chief Jeffrey Hooper says the claim is a misrepresentation of the facts and that agreements on the use and development of the range were in negotiations until the sheriff’s office abruptly withdrew a couple of weeks ago.

It’s understandable in the current climate why people of good faith would have genuine concerns about Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell’s plan to acquire a military-surplus armored vehicle. From the Derek Chauvin case (and far too many similar incidents around the country) to the aggressive tactics used by some police agencies during last year’s nationwide demonstrations, there are legitimate concerns that the appearance of “militarization” by police could lead to more mistrust and animosity between officers and those they are sworn to serve and protect.
But Sheriff Campbell also makes legitimate points about the ways such a vehicle can be used to protect not only his deputies, but the public at large. The potential safety benefits that such a vehicle can provide outweigh the potential concerns about unfortunate optics.

An area State Senator has proposed legislation aimed at keeping counties in Illinois from going without a sheriff.
Legislation proposed by 50
th District State Senator Steve McClure is advancing in the General Assembly that would ensure elected sheriffs can be sworn in without delay.
Senate Bill 0135 was approved by the Illinois Senate on Wednesday and calls for any newly elected county sheriff to enter office on December 1
st, regardless of what day of the week that falls on.
Current state law requires an elected sheriff to be sworn in on the first day of the month where the office is required to be open. In some years, that will not be the first day of the month.
