vided by small sheriff’s departments such as the one headed by Rappahannock’s William Buntin, the directors of Planning District Nine adopted a resolution protesting this grant decision. The resolution rightly pointed out how this policy would penalize small counties, and thwart the purpose for which the grants were designed.
Furthermore, it was noted that just because a small county sheriff or one of his deputies is not sitting in a police car in full uniform, it does not mean that a duty officer is not available. In small, rural counties, it is often easier for a citizen to get a response from a law officer than it is in a large metropolitan area, with a large police force, simply because local people are more responsive to local needs.
$o what happened? John Jones, criminal justice planner for Planning District 9, took the resolution to Richmond and the State Council on Criminal Justice—and they agreed! The rules will be changed. Rappahannock will be eligible for grant aid.
Wonders will never cease.
