Council discusses closing historic jail

A tight county budget and differing opinions on how best to use the county’s historic jail may keep the building unused a little longer than expected.
County Administrator Steve Willis brought the issue up for discussion at Lancaster County Council’s May 13 meeting.
Council has been mulling options for how best to use the building, located on West Gay Street, since discovering severe cracks in its ceiling in June 2010. Talks began again last month after stabilization work on the ceilings and walls was finally completed.

Crime Watch 5-22-13

From Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office reports:
• About 5:27 p.m. May 12, deputies responded to Food Lion, 8175 Charlotte Highway, about someone shooting a window, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office incident report.  
Deputies arrived at the scene and spoke with a man who said an unknown person shot one of the store’s windows. The deputies noticed a large window, which was cracked and had an apparent bullet hole in it, the report said.

County to arm animal control officers

Worried about the safety of the county’s animal control officers, who often face dangerous animals with no protection other than a catchpole, Lancaster County Council has decided it’s time to arm several of its employees.
Council unanimously voted at its May 13 meeting to approve training all animal control officers by the end of the month to carry long guns and to also be appropriately armed.

A Time to Remember

Whenever law enforcement officers of different agencies get together, there will be uniforms of every color and style, along with coats and ties, along with open and knit shirts.
That dress code is determined by what their job requires, be it an investigator, state trooper, deputy, police officer, wildlife officer or other work-related task.
Despite those subtle differences, there is one thing that never changes: law officers never forget their fallen brothers in arms.
