Sheriff department will pick up the slack and not have these issues.

Because the sheriff is elected, they are usually tied closer to the community (care what people think) and don’t have the issues PDs have.

PDs are notoriously unresponsive to the needs or wants of the community.

From the article, with no direct knowledge of my own, I would say that the council had set up things so that the officers couldn't do their jobs. I don't know which is closer to residents' wiches - police or council - but in my experience a lot of city councils are the problem, just as a fair percentage of police departments are problematic.

Honestly, I don't have enough information to make a call on that.
