Your Marion County Tax Dollars At Work

[phylodog]

You answered that question in your previous post and in this post: politics. Besides, you guys are too busy responding to calls all over the city to be serving warrants; especially since you're understaffed, right?

No, he didn't. The answer is to either properly staff and fund the agency responsible for serving criminal warrants or admit that the merger was a complete lie as well as a waste of millions of tax dollars. Allow the Sheriff to have his old jurisdiction back and get some value out of the millions spent by the Sheriff since the merger to re-duplicate services.

Refusal to do either is advocating or more tax dollars stripped from the ever shrinking number of citizens in Marion County willing to work for a living.

Related question, I read about special deputies and MCSD, Whats the difference between them, and the "Public Safety Officers" that IMPD has? And I don't mean IMPD merit positions, I'm talking about the non-merit public safety officers. Do The PSOs have police powers? carry? I'm assuming, based on what I've ready, they do mostly the same things as the special deputies.

PSOs do not have police powers and do not carry. They do evidence technician work or investigate crashes. Special deputies are armed and have arrest powers.
