Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams believes staffing issues within the Weld County Sheriff’s Office will only get worse before they get better. Reams said he has been working with the county commissioners to mitigate the problem, and more than a month ago, he brought forward a proposal that would give the department everything it needed more than a month ago, he said, and it was rejected by the board. The Greeley Tribune reports the board, this week, approved about $650,000 — a total Reams said was between half and three-quarters of what he requested. Ross said he anticipates the rest will be added to next year’s budget.
