Sheriff's Vehicle Fleet Consists Of 39 Vehicles

Friday, 27 January 2012 02:01

Did you know the Chattooga County Sheriff's Department has 39 vehicles in its fleet? The sheriff allows most full time deputies to take home their patrol car. The exception is full time deputies or investigators living outside the county cannot have a take home car.

This week Sheriff John Everett and Commission Jason Winters are in disagreement whether four new Dodge Chargers should be purchased. The sheriff ordered them from a Cleveland Dodge dealership and Winters now is telling the sheriff to send them back.

Commissioner Winters released a two page inventory list showing the sheriff's office with 39 vehicles. The commissioner says there was no emergency situation and the sheriff should not have pushed to get the four new vehicles without authorization.
