There was a detailed email from Sumter County Sheriff Bill Farmer which was his response to County Administrator Bradley Arnold's request to show how the Sheriff's Dept would be able to cut budget for coming year as a result of voter mandated cuts. Unfortunately I did not save the email. There was however, a story in recent edition of Villages Daily Sun that summarized what what contained in the Sheriff's response. It did list a reduction in number of Deputies on on road patrol, elimination of two motorcycle traffic enforcement officers, elimination of Funeral escorts and lots of other items. They were not the Sherrif's recommendations, but merely a response to list what would have to be cut to comply with a budget reduction.

Since this is early in the budget process, none of what the Sheriff listed is cast in stone.
