Sheriff worried because of budget shortfall, reduced services

Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry reiterated concerns about the sheriff’s office’s ability to serve citizens effectively due to lower budgets during a budget review May 13. According to a presentation, the sheriff’s office is facing a budget shortfall of about $378,000 from salaries and other costs. The sheriff’s office budget for fiscal year 2013, which comes in at about $19.5 million, is down more than $2 million from the budget high point in 2009, when the sheriff’s office had $21.7 million in funds. Capt. Ken Burchfield, who prepares the budget for the sheriff’s office, said that while the budget numbers have dropped, costs such as salary obligations have risen — which provides little discretionary spending in the event of an emergency situation.

Safety and Security

The EPHOA has developed the Realtime Security Alert System (RSAS) to quickly communicate potential safety and security-related issues to the residents of Eagle Point. The RSAS enables users to receive SMS text messages or emails related to street names in Eagle Point subdivision, as such notices are published on the website of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Log (http://shelbyso.com/ or http://dispatchlog.shelbyal.com). The RSAS continuously monitors the ShelbySO Dispatch Log for activity involving street names in Eagle Point subdivision, and automatically sends Alerts via SMS text message to the EPHOA Safety & Security Monitors. The Monitors will immediately assess the content of the Alert and use judgment and established priority guidelines to determine whether to broadcast the Alert to the entire Network. Eagle Point residents may log in at the homepage (http://www.ephoa.org/) and click on the link at the top labeled "ALERTS RSAS" to review terms of use and subscribe to the RSAS.
