gen has requested, and been Ge-
ried, an additional person to
maintain records in the depart
ment.
There's so much paper work
TO do that the office is overrun
ut this time of the year." said
Deputy Sheriff II. D. Stanly.
There is little doubt that re-
cords are kept in a haphazarf
manner. At the present tine,
Sheriff Pridgen is two months
behind in filing reports on poct-
Logging activities curbed by his
men.
Other clerical details are
skipped due to the pressure cf
tobacco season when crime rates
take jump and keep Officers
IN a constant move. This situa-
ton isn't new. II has existed fol-
riany years.
Where are the deputies? With
TIC territory TO be covered, the
five deputies must spend their
time travelling from one CON-
paint to another. Deputy Mac
Cdnady estimates he drives bc-
tween 600-700 miles per week.
Other deputies find themselves
facing the same situation.
How many complaints 60 ur.-
answered? There are no records
kept Of complaints, but one de-
putty guessed" that as many
went unanswered as these that
received attention.
"A lot Of times. we get a call
and start to investigate II when
another person calls with a more
serious complaint" said Deputy
Canady.
Usually, the Sheriffs office is
closed at night and complaints
must be filed with the White
vile Police Department. They in
turn radio the message TO ShCr-
III Pridgen or his deputies. Oft
en- as not this system proves a
failure.
For instance, a few months
ago a rural resident outside Of
Tabor City asked local police
officer Ted Watts to contact the
Sheriffs Department. There was
trouble at her home and local
Officers did not have ju-1sdic-
ton. Officer Watts was unable
