Snohomish County sheriff permanently re-assigning specialty units to patrol due to staffing shortage
Starting later this month, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office will permanently re-assign several specialty units to help cover patrol crews due to staffing shortages across the department, the sheriff said in a letter to the public Monday afternoon.
Sheriff Adam Fortney said the Office of Neighborhoods (OON), Directed Patrol (DP) and the K-9 unit will be among the specialty units re-assigned to patrol crews to fill current vacancies in the department.
The re-assignments will start "mid-June," Fortney said in the letter.
"While the following staffing decisions were hard to make, I also know it is the right decision at this moment in history to ensure we can protect our community and protect our first responders," Fortney said.
