This has not one thing to do with a sheriff's wages. It has much more to do with the war on drugs (actually the war against US citizens) and what that has done to separate our country's law enforcement from we the people.
It has everything to do with what wages the deputies make, and what sort of administrator the sheriff is.
If it doesn't make any difference, then keep what ya got, and see how things work...
Total and complete unadulterated BULLCHIT. The biggest and most well paid departments have the exact same problem as small and "underpaid" departments. It has not one thing to do with wages and everything to do with modern police culture and attitudes. Trying to blame low wages or 3 year old cruisers is not only wrong and ignorant but not unexpected.
