Editor’s note:
The Sheriff’s Merit Board was established by a resolution passed 12-7-72. Being advised that there might not be an ordinance establishing The Sheriff’s Merit Board, the County Council passed two ordinances, CC 3-2000 and CC 4-2000, to ratify its establishment. BC 2000-9 contains the current revised and adopted rules and regulations of the Board.
