Sheriff Calls for Continued Cooperation Throughout Public
Safety
Public Safety Director Dr. Frank Straub telephoned Sheriff
John Layton this morning to advise him of his decision to resign as Public
Safety Director. Just last Tuesday, Sheriff Layton issued a statement
that he looked forward to continuing to work with all parties, including Public
Safety Director Straub, to find positive solutions to the difficult
public safety funding challenges facing the City and County.
During
the course of the conversation this morning, the two Public Safety Officials
agreed to continue their efforts during Dr. Straub’s remaining
tenure. “Over the last several weeks, Dr. Straub and I have worked
together finding that our offices faced similar challenges and we realized that
by working more closely together we might better meet these challenges
successfully,” said Sheriff Layton. “I appreciate the dialogue with the
Department of Public Safety, and I hope to have a good relationship with the
next Public Safety Director,” concluded Sheriff Layton.
